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.

Anyone ever heard of goorip? www,goorip.com, it takes google images and directly posts them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what this list is supposed to be/do/promote. Take an art class? Who do you think you are?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to turn Safe Search off to broaden your search results (as long as you don't mind some NSFW pics)
ReplyDeleteEasier than a Greasemonkey script there is the firefox extension Google Image relinker
ReplyDeleteInstead of the Greasemonkey Script I use Customize Google Firefox Extension. Does the same for images, but a lot of other cool Google stuff :)
ReplyDeletefrom Avesland@AOL.com
ReplyDeleteHow 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 ?
Try this script if you use Firefox and have Greasemonkey installed or read this post.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIn 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?
ReplyDeleteGood 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! :)
ReplyDeletetry MediaMingle.com . It is what image search should be.
ReplyDeleteJust 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to direct upload the image in image.google.com ?
ReplyDeleteYes these are the best searching tips not only for the starters but for the experts as well. A must have formula for google search.

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know approximately how long it takes to get a new image indexed?
ReplyDeletei think that the google imaging is a good thing i am yasir with my friend adil from kashmir india gooooood bye
ReplyDeleteOkay... everyone keeps ignoring the same question so I'll ask again: does anyone know how long it takes Google to add an image to its image search? It's certainly slower than their indexing of a page. Does anyone know a way to add images for Google to index or make it easier for Google to index? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice tips
ReplyDeleteIs there any web search engine available on the net where can perform image based searching,i mean it work on image matching approach.ask me to browse image from my computer and search relevent data.
ReplyDelete@johni:
ReplyDeleteTry TinEye.
An issue was raised in the previous post about the duration of google adding image to its image search... i guess whenever google is indexing websites and paging they do their image addition..
ReplyDeleteHey @Alex i have tried TinEye but the weird thing is that you have to first sign in and then you can do a search . isn't it a bit strange?
ReplyDeleteI think it takes 7 days for and image to be indexed by google.
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice!

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI added my page to the search long time ago - yet won't be found. Does someone know the criteria?
I like image search but sometime it works uns sometime not - i did not find out how come.
ReplyDeleteI set lots of deeplinks on the Images - leading to my Geburtstag page, get, Google Imagesearch seems to just ignore it. Some others, older images are beeing found. What do I possibly do wrong?
ReplyDeleteputting an alt text to your images will help to get it listed in google image search.

ReplyDeleteThanks for these wonderful tips. I think its really very good and helpful for me. I am a web designer and searching pictures is a big part of my job. And everyone now if you are searching for anything google is the best place for you. Thanks alot for the tips once again.
ReplyDeleteGood List.I guess google uses rating system for image placement
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice! I added my page to the search long time ago - yet won't be found.
ReplyDeleteGood & unique feature . I have been shared it with my group. Hope they will get benefit from it.
ReplyDeletethese are great tips. thanks.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all just because images are in Google Image search doesn't mean their free for the taking. I know several people having legal troubles because they took images and wanted to profit off someone else's work. Be careful and get copyright free images or license them.
ReplyDeleteIt takes about 3-6 months to get images ranked in google. News images will pop up rather quick but it seems most other topics are pretty slow. Its not like organic search.
Thanks for this tips.
ReplyDeleteIf your web site's page rank is high, then google adds it in a less time.
I was looking for this from while. thanks for sharing this informations...
ReplyDeleteGoogle image search help me in finding good relevent images. I am car lovers.always getting good images of different car models to put on my desktop.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis got me confused "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. "
ReplyDeleteAwesome tips, that's why Google is still the best search engine.
ReplyDeleteI think Bing.com has better image search engine. they have features like :- Size Based Search,Quality based Search.
ReplyDeleteFinding the "colour of a word" is interesting to hear but i couldn't understand what for it is used.

ReplyDeleteHere's a bookmarket that puts the webpage below the images on the results page. Saves a lot of time navigating to the page the image is on.

ReplyDeleteGoogle has a great search image function, don't forget to alt tag your images on your sire sometime images bring in more traffic than web articles.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I want a particular image not to be indexed by the google image search function, do I just have to delete any alt tag for that image?
ReplyDeleteGoogle image search can be very frustrating and the inner workings are a bit mysterious. The technology and google's communcation about it is certainly lagging far behind textual search and the updates are far less frequent.
ReplyDeletei already use google image search this way =) but the tips are useful nonetheless
ReplyDeleteI also added the alt-tags to the pic, but I can't see any picture in google image search f.e. of ma dj muenchen page.
ReplyDeletei hope googles comes up with some sort of reverse image lookup also. There are a few out there but they are very basic.
ReplyDeletereverse image lookup is one way to find ppl or one can always use tricks to track down ppl, like trying to find ppl who might have a relation with the person you are looking for. I always do this with movies. if i dnt know an actor in a movie, i look up for someone i know in the movie and go on..
Bing is going to get better !
