Google Image Search for Safari

Google Image Search recently added the ability to search for images by URL. This attempts to identify the image, find pages containing the image, and find related images. This extension adds a contextual menu item to image tags that lets you search for that image directly on Google Image Search. It is completely unofficial, with no affiliation with Google whatsoever.

Installation

Go to the downloads section and grab the latest version (be sure to grab the official download, not a tag). Then double-click the downloaded file and Safari will prompt you to install. Once installed, you'll need to reload any existing tabs in order to use the extension on those tabs.

Usage

Right-click any image on any web site. A contextual menu item "Search Image on Google" should show up. Select that item and a new tab will open with your Google Image search. If the contextual menu item is not visible, then either you did not click on an image, the image was too small to be searched for, or the image was a background image (due to technical reasons, the plugin cannot detect clicks on background images).

Updates

Updates should appear automatically in Safari's Extensions Updates pane.

Support

If you run into any problems, please file a GitHub issue, contact me @eridius on Twitter, or send me an email.
