9. A search system for performing an image-based search, the system comprising: processing circuitry configured to: receive a snapshot image captured from video of media content being displayed by user equipment; and receive supplemental data associated with the media content; and searching circuitry responsive to the processing circuitry and configured to: retrieve a plurality of images from a collection of searchable data by comparing the supplemental data to data associated with each image of the plurality of images; process visual attributes of each image of the plurality of retrieved images to determine whether at least one image of the plurality of images includes at least one recognizable feature of the snapshot image; provide at least one first search result based on determining at least one image of the plurality of retrieved images has the at least one recognizable feature; receive a user request to refine the image-based search; process at least one new image based at least in part on the user request; and provide at least one second search result based on the at least one new image.

The system of claim 9 , wherein the snapshot image contains more than one recognizable feature, and the processing circuitry is further configured to target at least one recognizable feature of the snapshot image based on user input.
