Submission + - visual search engine 1

It attempts to profile a user based on how they rate certain images, and then find past searches that are most similar and gives related results. A lot of people say it reminds them of that 20q.net game; some times it's shockingly accurate, and sometimes it's unimpressive. It definitely shows improvement — some friends and I were trying to search for random topics, and it was pretty common for irrelevant results the first search, but some times as soon as the second or third search relevant results would appear withing 4 or 5 *ratings*. It checks both positive and negative relationships, and some times seems to have built a category using deductive reasoning. It's a pretty cool idea, but doesn't seem 100% accurate, so I'm putting it here for input and feedback.
Thanks!
