To make it more clearer, if you are looking for pictures of tabby cats. You can search for the keyword "cat" and filter by color, but you'll likely have to scroll through pages and pages of images before manually picking out the photos that match what you're looking for. Now with the Similarity Search feature, you can simply hover over an image of a cat and click the "..." menu.

From there, Flickr will show you photos that look similar. Now you can select the image that you want from the relevant choices that will be given.

This feature seems pretty useful and it will surely save you a lot of time as well as the effort you will be putting in to search for your desired image. Yahoo claims that the new feature will give you the most relevant results.
