Abstract
In this paper we develop VISTO (Vector Images Search TOol), along two directions: (1) we present a new interface for VISTO which is more sophisticated than the original one, since it has been developed having in mind the users and their retrieval requests; (2) we provide a much deeper evaluation of the effectiveness and the efficiency of VISTO in the specific domain of the Blissymbolic images.
