The "Search by Image" extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera has been updated to version 8.2.1, enhancing its capabilities as a robust reverse image search tool. Users can effortlessly initiate searches directly from their browser's right-click context menu or toolbar, utilizing a variety of search engines such as Baidu, Bing, Google, Yandex, and TinEye.
This extension is designed to detect images from any part of a webpage, regardless of how they are embedded. It also allows users to upload local images, search for frames from videos, and capture specific details within images. The flexibility of the extension enables users to toggle and reorder supported search engines via its options section.
Several modes of operation cater to different user needs. These modes include:
1. Select: Users can select an image on the page and search for its URL, with the extension handling blob and data URLs as uploads.
2. Select & Upload: This mode is ideal for sites that restrict direct linking, allowing users to fetch and upload the image.
3. Capture: Users can select a portion of the page to capture and upload.
4. Upload: Users can upload images directly from their device or clipboard.
5. URL: This allows for searching an image via its URL.
The extension also features the ability to search using either a single engine or all enabled ones quickly. It can detect any image present on the page, including those in CSS or pseudo-elements, and provides a dialog to select from multiple found images. Additionally, it supports searches from private sites and local images, as well as for the current frame of a video.
To further enhance user experience, future updates could introduce additional features such as advanced filtering options for search results, integration with more niche image search engines, or the ability to save and manage favorite searches. This would not only streamline the reverse image search process but also provide users with a more personalized and efficient tool for their image searching needs
