Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for analyzing image search result relevance. In one aspect, a method includes receiving result data specifying a search query and responsive image search results that reference images that are responsive to the search query. A determination is made that the search query matches an indexed query. An image relevance model is identified for the indexed query. The image relevance model can output a relevance score adjustment factor for an image search result based on image feature values of the image that is referenced by the search result. A relevance score adjustment factor is determined for each image search result using the identified image relevance model. A relevance score for each image search result is adjusted using the image's image relevance score adjustment factor. The images are ranked based on the adjusted relevance scores.
