Title: Google-Search by Image
Post by: fritz on July 20, 2011, 19:00: Check this new Google feature out! http://www.google.com/insidesearch/searchbyimage.html (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.

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.

Post by: BelIblis on October 13, 2011, 18:22: 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?
