A visual search recommendation engine utilizes an image quality indication model for a visual search recommendation. Specifically, the visual search recommendation engine receives a search image as a search query at a search engine. The visual search recommendation engine provides the search image as an input into the image quality indication model, which is trained to output an image quality indication based on image aspects of the search image. A plurality of images are identified from an image corpus. The visual search recommendation engine determines an image similarity based on a comparison between the plurality of images from the image corpus and the search image. The image quality indication and the image similarity indicate a search query performance for the search image. A first image exceeding the search query performance is identified. The first image is provided for display at the search engine.
