Google Image Search could be used in many ways.
1. If you want to know if a person is a man or a woman and the name doesn't help, do a search for the name.
2. If you don't know the meaning of a word, the pictures may help you.
3. A better search for Flickr. Google uses information from other sites that link to Flickr photos, so you may find Google search better.
4. Find what's interesting about a site, by looking at the pictures included. For example: wired.com.
5. Find a new wallpaper for your desktop by restricting your search to large images. You can automate this using an application.
6. Find random personal pictures, using standard file names from digital cameras.
7. Type the name of a painter and you can take an art class.
8. Install a Greasemonkey script so you can view the original version of the image directly by clicking on the thumbnail.
9. Find the color of a word. "Word Color is a windows program that uses Google Image Search to determine the color of a word or string of words. It goes out there, retrieves the top 9 images and loops through all pixels, calculating the average hue, which is later converted to a color."
10. If you want to grab search results, GoogleGrab is a tool that downloads images from Google Image Search. It even supports batch search.

Your sentence "You can also find many information about" suddenly stops, now you got me curious :)

I'm not sure what this list is supposed to be/do/promote. Take an art class? Who do you think you are?

Don't forget to turn Safe Search off to broaden your search results (as long as you don't mind some NSFW pics)

Easier than a Greasemonkey script there is the firefox extension
Google Image relinker

Instead of the Greasemonkey Script I use
Customize Google Firefox Extension. Does the same for images, but a lot of other cool Google stuff :)

How do you remove the new cursor-
activated highlighting from
Google Image Search ? This idiotic
feature is a huge distractiion if you are doing serious research.
What moron dreamed up this nonsense ?

I have been studying Astronomy, at MaDonna University and have found the best images for all my power point presentations from this web site. I tell every one I know to use your web site.
In general I have found some of my sites with good pictures (and names) get quite a few hits from google image search. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to get a new image indexed? Does it happen at the same time your site is crawled with any google bot?

Good posting. It really helps a lot. This is so terrible. I will tell this to my friends and relatives to visit your site and also to the friends of their friends to
contact us for some hint and tips. I'm sure they are glad to have this. I really love this. Thanks for posting and more power! :)

try MediaMingle.com . It is what image search should be.
Just like your standard search parameters, the image search works as it should when you utilize specific search parameters. If you can't find what you are looking for simply adjust the terms you searching under and lo and behold you'll find it.
Great stuff, I especially liked the first tip about a person's gender! BTW, I found useful when looking for some B&W pics that it's good to put "drawing" beside the name of what you are looking for.
