1. A method for providing relevance-based image-centric information, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of images; linking each received image, included in the plurality of images, to an appropriate standard format, wherein the appropriate standard format is selected from a plurality of standard formats, wherein the selection is based on a greatest degree of relevance between the received image and the selected one of the plurality of formats; converting each of the received images into a linked standard image, said linked standard image corresponding to the appropriate standard format at a higher degree of correspondence than the received image; loading the plurality of converted images into a database; searching the database utilizing a query, said query defining the searching; returning, in response to the query, a plurality of resultant images; determining a search relevance result value for each resultant image, included in the plurality of resultant images, said search relevance result value being based on a level at which the resultant image fits the query, where the most relevant resultant image is ranked highest and the least relevant resultant image is ranked lowest; ordering the plurality of resultant images based on all of the search relevance result values; loading the plurality of ordered resultant images onto a user interfacing display, wherein a first set of the plurality of images is displayed on the display prior to receiving all of the plurality of images, some resultant images are displayed while other resultant images are being loaded but not yet displayed; and arranging the displayed resultant images on the user interfacing display into four regions: an image thumbnail region comprising thumbnails of the displayed resultant images; a full-scale image region comprising full-size views of the displayed resultant images; an image metadata region comprising metadata relating to the displayed resultant images; and a filter results region comprising methods for narrowing the query.
