(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Google has this new feature that is advertised but they have not made a big deal about it. I use it on a daily basis and realized many people on ngu do not know about it. This feature is called search by image.

Informational Video:


Four ways you can search by image.
1. Drag and drop an image from the web or your computer into the search box on images.google.com.

2. On images.google.com, click the camera icon, then select “Upload an image.” Select the image you want to use to start your search.

3. Right-click the image to copy the URL. On images.google.com, click the camera icon, and “Paste image URL”.

4. Download the You must login or register to view this content. or the You must login or register to view this content.. With the extension installed, simply right-click an image on the web to search Google with that image.

How it works
Google uses computer vision techniques to match your image to other images in the Google Images index and additional image collections. From those matches, we try to generate an accurate "best guess" text description of your image, as well as find other images that have the same content as your search image. Your search results page can show results for that text description as well as related images.

How it works section was copied and pasted in case any of you guys were wondering how it works. This feature is very handy and absolutely amazing.

Enjoy :PBJ:

I don't like the look of Chrome, I've considered trying Firefox but I hate getting used to a new browser :FU:

I hated chrome at first too, but once I found out I can make the bookmarks bar always visible, I've stuck with this one.
