Image Search Shortcut - Right Click Menu (Reverse Image Search)

WindWalker

Right Click on an Image and select image search. It automatically copies image adress and opens it in google image search. Pinterest image search could also be implemented.

WindWalker Why google image search?

WindWalker

Vlad For when you encounter an image you want to find the source of, if there's a better tool for that than google images reverse search then that one would be preferable

Vlad

WindWalker What if I prefer a different search engine?

+1, i use this too often, thing is, there is a safari extension on github that works in safari, but can't be imported to orion (no manifest.json) (maybe some inspiration can be taken from it)
this is implemented in at least some chromium-based browsers as far as i know, and i've tried both chromium and firefox extensions which do this - none of them work for some reason
(google is just the most popular, but there are some other engines)

WindWalker

Vlad I don't think other search engines have image search

Vlad

WindWalker At least 4 that I know of, including Kagi do.

WindWalker

Vlad So can it be done with the choice to choose which?

Vlad

WindWalker Maybe, what we are looking for in a feature suggestion is exactly how the feature should work.

WindWalker

Vlad When an Image is right clicked, the Image Search option appears in the list. The default image search engine can be changed in preferences in the Search section.

It works by copying the image adress and inputting it in the preferred image search engine url in a new tab

We could take inspiration from the "search by image" extension which currently sadly doesn't really works in Orion (Bug here: https://orionfeedback.org/d/8973-search-by-image-extension-doesnt-work). Instead of predefined search engines (except for a few) we could make them configurable in the settings, just like with the "normal" search engines.
