Check this new Google feature out! http://www.google.com/insidesearch/searchbyimage.html
Copy and paste the URL for an image you looking for and click search by image
I found a bunch of my images on the web. Works 100% at least for me.

alexmk, that's very old news by now, we had a thread about this a few weeks ago.

Anyone got it working on the latest version of FF yet? I'm still getting the 'not compatible' message.

It just started working again for me today in the latest Firefox (5.0.1). I'm on a Mac. Have you downloaded the latest extension?

As mentioned, this has been around for a while...

I just upgraded to 5.0.1 (Win) (doesn't FF automatically encourage you to upgrade nowadays?), but I got the message that the Google extension isn't compatible with FF 5.0.1.
Maybe it doesn't matter. When it came out at first, I found all sorts of uses and misuses. I wrote to two bloggers and they took the pics down and apologised. I'd hoped they might license th image, but they were totally private bloggers, so not hopeful - but a result. Then we got the nippy note in the iStock forum about not contacting buyers directly, so then next six or so I wrote to Support about and have heard nothing since (apart from an acknowledgement of receipt of my support tickets). No surprise there. I guess if I find any more, I'll be contacting them directly, unless it's a commercial website.

I've been wondering:
Is there a way to "script" the new google image search? For example, if I have a list of 100 links & want to automatically search for them once a month?
