I didn't know search engines could do this...

I was looking up something on the net, using Google, when I suddenly noticed an option to look up Images instead of Web Pages. Cool. I'd never seen that before.

Just one of those things you realize you should have noticed about five years ago, but never did.
 
damn,

I was hoping the was an automatic "Coffee" button you'd found.
 
Most of my avs are from google image searches. And I love that it gives me suggestions when my brain shuts down and I forget how to spell.

Yep, that is how I find if people have stolen my copyright images from my website :D
 
DCL that's how I find pictures so fast.

another good option is after you search for a word and get 4,509,345 pages, scroll all the way down and pick search within results for a second word. and keep narowing it down till you have about 10 results, you'll find what you want in like 3 mins.

where as if you used all those words in the first place you'll get a few hundered million pages comeing up.
 
Be sure to try out the Advanced Search page on Google. It makes it easier for people unfamiliar with 'regular expressions' to set out the exact search paramaters they want. You can tell it to search for pages with ALL of these words, ANY of these words, NONE of these words, this EXACT phrase, and more!

Google is a truly amazing technical acheivement. I've sworn by it, and only seldom at it, for ages.
 
the image search is a recent development at google.
what other search engines do it?
