An explanation about the "new" image search parameters?

@longlife , nice, added to the Web Panel

If anyone can figure out how to make Google Lens work with the new image search you will get

Far as I've got is figuring out the GET url:

https://lens.google.com/search?p=ASQ0Rg02DJVfM5PhYnA-Qug_RVrQBoaaaPK4ps_U4C-3Sn8uP8mgBbdOFO93j6RJMOo3c4Kygr5DsXqJthzg09AfoZgzK8o4voCoDcx2GprmqDheUnCXZnO4yDgBAXANoyCNLZRcxz-lY8YPFfq_kQuVJeODseMIQXvu9vDzDJB_grK2p-_rnwGaaPM5oO30mnic7Kn4m1BYWv0O0KVcEjoTKeuo_TJMIQ4kR6f-lSosPX8%3D#lns=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLG51bGwsIkVrY0tKREkwWVRZeE1UaGlMV1k1TldFdE5ESmhOQzA0WldNMUxUWmpaR0UxWmpJNFltSTFPQklmYnpWUVFrVjZXR1ZPUm5kak5FaEZlRmhpTFdJNVpVUmlNa2RKTTBGU1p3PT0iXQ==

That definitely looks like Base64, but not been able to use either {google:imageThumbnailBase64} or {google:imageThumbnail}.

Looks like it also does a POST before redirecting to the above URL:
https://lens.google.com/upload?ep=ccm&s=&st=1649594215472

I guess someone will need to know the Chromium source code to figure this one out... Google is certainly not making this easier, you can't even access the upload page without first searching for an image, unless you "hack" it by using:
https://lens.google.com/search?p

Edit: Also moving this to Tips & Tricks where it belongs, it's not a support issue.

I do not have this Image Search URL field ??
Did not check Snapshot installation.

Works now. Some mess inside "chrome://settings/searchEngines". Deleted wrong default Google search, had two of them.

This Google Lens thing is better than function before. One extra mouse click though.

No matter I try I cannot get it to work in latest Snapshot.

[Stagger_Lee]

Now it does not work on 2 Stable and 1 Snapshot installation thanks to the Sync search engine function.
Like chasing own tail when you do not know what priority it takes and from what installation it overwrites backup.

• Did reset Chrome settings
• Deleted sync
• Synced again

Hope it stays this way.

Thanks! This page contains this entry:

"image_url": "https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview"
"image_url_post_params": "upfile={google:imageThumbnail},original_width={google:imageOriginalWidth},original_height={google:imageOriginalHeight},prg=1"

Now Yandex image search works for me.
