Google image search
-
Is it possible to add google images to the list of search engines? Can't quite figure out if its possible or what url to use.

@johnson.pw
go https://images.google.com/ and right click on the search box, Add as search engine, done. You can also repeat it in the search box of search by image/paste image URL, to obviously search by URL instead of keywords.
Repeat for every search box you find in sites you do your searches. -
Thank you so much, can't believe that didn't occur to me. Cheers.

Here is the config that I use to get Search Engine for Google Images with search suggestions:
URL:
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=%s
Suggest URL:https://www.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&ds=i&output=firefox&q=%s
If you'd wish to use Google Images search in language other than english, then replace the domain
.com
and the hl attribute parameteren
with the one that Google uses for your language. -
@johnson.pw There is another alternative for sites where right click > add search doesn't exist. This happens here and there, mostly right click works, but it should be mentioned. If that happens, do the following:
- Search as you normally would, for example, use the term "test" or whatever you like, and wait for the results.
- Once the results page is up, copy the whole URL.
- Go to settings and search and add a new search engine, paste your URL in the first box and give it a keyword/shortcut in the third boxes if you want.
- Final step, replace the word "test" with "%s" in your URL before saving.
In most cases, you don't have to think about anything else, just find "test" and replace it with "%s". Sometimes you have to modify some other aspects of the URL, but if that happens, please come back to the forums and we'll help you out.
