Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
before a user has initiated an image-based search at a computing device:
obtaining data indicating a current context including at least a geographic location associated with the computing device,
determining that the computing device is physically located proximate to a predefined, geographic location based on the data indicating a current context,
in response to determining that the computing device is physically located proximate to the predefined, geographic location:
accessing a repository that associates, for each predefined geographic location of a plurality of predefined geographic locations, a respective image-based search type for the predefined geographic location, and wherein the respective image-based search types define multiple candidate image-based search types that each respectively invoke a search type capability of an image search system that is different from a search type capability invoked by each other candidate image-based search type;
determining, based on the repository and the geographic location, a particular image-based search type from the multiple candidate image-based search types, wherein the particular image-based search type is associated with the predefined, geographic location in the repository, and
providing a user interface including a control for initiating an image-based search of the particular image-based search type, wherein the user interface comprises a predictive card, wherein the predictive card comprises information generated by a predictive model.
