How Does Hawksearch Handle Thumbnails

Hawksearch uses thumbnails and reduced images in several aspects of the user experience. These images can be developed by Hawksearch on the backend or fed into your feed by pointing to the URL's of the thumbnails. 

The thumbnails can be made through Hawksearch from larger images (and if you typically have a faster internet connection, you don't even notice the time it takes for this to occur). The second strategy can utilize pre-made images and the URL's that you are pointing to for thumbnails. 

For example, the screenshot below shows thumbnails in the drop down menu of search results.

The thumbnail dimensions for autocomplete are 70x70px.

The difference in implementation really comes up strategically when you are thinking about how you want the UX to be. If you want a ton of photos to be cached on the users computer vs. if you are loading the photos every time a user accesses your page.
