Its main function is to find similar images around the web to that of the one you entered. It’s like the service currently offered by Google Labs.

You can also draw a quick sketch of what you want your picture to look like and submit it so you get back photographs or artwork. You can then filter your results by colour, shape and size. The search engine will also bring back video content that is related to the images – it. If a picture is used as a thumbnail for a video on YouTube then GazoPa will retrieve the video as well.

Check it out here.

Plus New Google Image Search Tool http://crenk.com/youtube-off-site-video-players-now-have-search-option-plus-new-google-image-search-tool/ http://crenk.com/youtube-off-site-video-players-now-have-search-option-plus-new-google-image-search-tool/#comments Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:07:50 +0000 Steven Finch http://crenk.com/?p=1393 Youtube seems to have added a very interesting feature to their off site video players. I’m really not too sure if anyone has already reported about this, but Youtube video players which are hosted off the Youtube site now have their own drop down search tool. I have added the video below so you can have a look:

This is a great idea! Now any Youtube off site video player is pretty much as useful as being on the Youtube site itself. Any video can be played in the one player. I admit because the player can be quite small at times, the search results don’t show too many results at once, so you have to be pretty specific to find the exact video you want. However this is a great addition from Youtube!

Additionally, when searching for an image to use I came across this,

When using Google image search instead of searching then finding an image then if that isn’t the right image, then you have to go back and keep doing the same process. Thus getting a little annoying. However, now you can search straight in Google image search while still looking at a page. I know, not big news but just thought someone actually might be interested in this.
