Google ' Image' Search

[shyvas]

Has anyone tried the Google Image search ?

I'm looking for a cuddler (type of swivel armchair) chair that I've seen on a US site. Google has managed to find a few links but nothing that exists in Europe. I wonder whether the search engine is a bit limited as far as images are concerned ?

I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for, but I search through Yahoo, which I would think is similar to Google. I typed in "cuddler chair" and get this:


Then I click where it says "images" and this comes up. I can scroll down and get lots of images, near the top (web, images, video).


Am I even close? Lol.

I meant using an image (photo) instead of the description.

As either different countries (US term cuddled seems to be swivel in the UK) and/or sites use different vocabulary, when I entered the words, I got the most vast array of answers. I thought that it would be easier and more logical to entre the actual photo of the objet (armchair) that I was looking for.

Do you find that round back comfortable? I've sat in those and they kill my back!

I've never actually tried one. I just like the look of them. Anyway, it's looks like they are not available over here so it's not worth the search.

I also like how they look, why I tried them at stores. Sitting in anything with a curved back gives me instant, like shooting nerve pains. With cushions it's not as instantly noticeable, but ever sit in those plastic chairs with curved backs? Owwwwww

Ohhhhhh...I had a feeling I was missing something, lol.

I've never done a search by entering a photo!

I was also wondering whether the image search would work for people ?

How do you search by using an image? Do you use the url?

Lol

Yes. I google 'google image search' You just click onto the camera and download the pic.

You can either use the url or upload a picture. It can be very helpful when you're trying to find out the source of the picture eg when you need to credit the owner. Other times, it's utterly useless though imo

My sister has one and I always hog it when I'm at her house.

In terms of the google image searches, I've not had much need for it but have found it work when I tried. I guess it's early technology compared to a good old text search

Pinterest might turn one up in your area

What you're referring to is usually called a Reverse Image Search.

Clicking the camera on a regular Google image search and entering a URL/uploading a photo will do the trick, but for more options you might want to consult some other reverse searchers, for instance TinEye.

It's important to note that the purpose of a reverse image search is mostly to find other sources of the same image on the internet - if you're trying to find similar chairs on shopping websites, reverse search might not be the best option.
