Tips For Google Image Search

Google Image Search could be used in many ways.

  •  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. 


  •  If you don't know the meaning of a word, the pictures may help you.


  •  A better search for Flickr. Google uses information from other sites that link to Flickr photos, so you may find Google search better.


  •  Find what's interesting about a site, by looking at the pictures included. For example: wired.com.


  •  Find a new wallpaper for your desktop by restricting your search to large images. You can automate this using an application.


  • Find random personal pictures, using standard file names from digital cameras.


  •  Type the name of a painter and you can take an art class.


  •  Install a Greasemonkey script so you can view the original version of the image directly by clicking on the thumbnail.


  •  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."


  •  If you want to grab search results, Google Grab is a tool that downloads images from Google Image Search. It even supports batch search.
