FABULOUS tip mickey megabyte. I wish I could rep you for that because I have been trying forever to figure out how to search for certain images --

But here's my question --- Do you have to have two pages (the Google Search page + the website page with the photo) open at the same time in order to drag the image over to Google Image Search? I tried the Copy command to copy a photo and Paste it into the Google Searchbox, but that didn't work --- although the "Copy Shortcut" command did work a little better --- but I don't think that's what you meant.

i don't know which browser you use, but i use a chrome based browser which allows me to 'rip' a tab off to one side, which opens a new window. i now have two browser windows showing different tabs, and can drag and drop images from one to the other.

or, depending on browser, you may be able to drag the picture up onto the google image page tab, which will then open allowing you to drop the image from the original tab into the searchbox, if you get what i'm trying to say.

i suppose what we really need is some sort of extension or accelerator which lets you right-click on an image and select 'search this image.'...and will open up google image search results in a new tab.

(or a bookmarklet that we could drag images onto)

yes, if you click on the little camera in the searchbox, it offers a new dialogue, and you can paste the image URL.



at least it does in my browser. :)
