In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing an integrated image search system are provided. The integrated image search system supports an image search feature of a content application on a mobile device. An image identifier is received to execute an image search operation. The image identifier is received via a native operating system action that is customized to support the image search feature. The native operating system action defines an entry point to the image search feature. The entry points can be based on image identifiers identified from a share image action, a share Uniform Resource Locator (URL) action, a copy share URL action, or a drag and drop action. An image of the image identifier is used to execute the image search operation to identify image search results. An image search results page having one or more images search results is caused to be displayed.

One embodiment provides a method comprising classifying one or more objects present in an input comprising visual data by executing a first set of models associated with a domain on the input. Each model corresponds to an object category. Each model is trained to generate a visual classifier result relating to a corresponding object category in the input with an associated confidence value indicative of accuracy of the visual classifier result. The method further comprises aggregating a first set of visual classifier results based on confidence value associated with each visual classifier result of each model of the first set of models. At least one other model is selectable for execution on the input based on the aggregated first set of visual classifier results for additional classification of the objects. One or more visual classifier results are returned to an application running on an electronic device for display.
