Google Apps: Search-by-Image Fu

Search-by-Image Fu – Combining text and image searches

When you visit the Google search page you have a choice in what type of search you would like to conduct besides just the web such as images, maps, news, etc.

Google search options

But did you know that in some cases you can combine search items to help you get better results? One way this can be done is by giving Google an actual image to search for, then adding key words as necessary to refine the search. Daniel Russell, a research scientist at Google, has created a great video tutorial that illustrates this combination of image and text keywords to help you find what you’re looking for more efficiently.
