Title: Person Gallery Images
Post by: Starbanker on June 15, 2011, 06:44:38 pm

I would like to add Google Image search to the Web Search, just like the Google video search. How would I go about it?

Google search strings are included in the URL. Creating a Web Search for any site that works this way is easy. Just do a test search that includes all the search parameters you want to use. For example, "Casablanca" {Images > Large > Full color > Photo} produces...

Code: [Select]

http://www.google.com/search?q=casablanca&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1153&bih=905&site=&prmd=ivnsm&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=RfX4Ta3DJe7KiAL8w-39DA&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBEQ_AUoAQ#q=casablanca&hl=en&safe=off&tbs=isz:l,ic:color,itp:photo,imgo:1&tbm=isch&prmd=ivnsm&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=V_X4TbGBDsrPiAKAofX-DA&ved=0CC0QpwUoAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=99200b5ccd544cc0&biw=1153&bih=905
Copy & paste this to the Web search URL, and change "casablanca" to "%s%u."

For websites that don't expose the search string in the URL, this "bookmarklet" usually works...

Code: [Select]

javascript:(function()%7Bvar%20x,i;%20x%20=%20document.forms;%20for%20(i%20=%200;%20i%20%3C%20x.length;%20++i)%20x%5Bi%5D.method=%22get%22;%20alert(%22Changed%20%22%20+%20x.length%20+%20%22%20forms%20to%20use%20the%20GET%20method.%20%20After%20submitting%20a%20form%20from%20this%20page,%20you%20should%20be%20able%20to%20bookmark%20the%20result.%22);%20%7D)();
It changes the method from POST to GET—whatever that means. Save the code as a bookmark. Select the bookmark to run it, then execute the webpage's search. The search string will appear in the URL.

Thanks to you'all, it works perfectly. Not only does it go to images, but also to the minimum size that I need.
