Google Image Search

By Marziah Karch, About.com

Definition: Google Image Search is a search engine of images on the web.

Thumbnails of images are displayed based on the search keywords used. The filename and surrounding text of the image are used to match the search keywords. You can specify small, medium, or large images. You can also set the SafeSearch settings to filter out nudity, but this isn't always reliable.

Images found in Google Image Search may still be under copyright protection from the image creator.

Google Image Search is available on the Web at images.google.com.

Also Known As: Google Images
