[Request] Reverse image search #10

Open Stimmenhotel opened 3 years ago

Stimmenhotel commented 3 years ago

Just an idea since I am using the reverse search right now to see if the photographers website just use stock/third-party content. Maybe adding a few reverse image search providers would be handy.

Right now I am using a dedicated add-on for this functionality which works quite nice, but it is another context menu entry. And together with your deep-search it would improve the functionality of the other add-on.

I am thinking about a few icons like with the map, giving the option to open specific services searching for the image.

Very interesting idea. Though if I do it, I will probably give it a more positive angle and name it something like "Search Similar" (I care a lot about f.ex. (copy)rights and licenses, but also like to avoid a negative-minded witch hunt mentality) :-)

f.ex? Don't know what that means. But sure, you can call it Search Similar. At least that is what google does anyway. Tineye seems to be more on point about finding duplicates. Don't know about the others.
