You might think, what’s so great about this article. Everybody knows how to search images on Google!
Well, might be you don’t know all the ways to use Google Image Search.
Google offers you some interesting ways you can use to search images. Not only can you type in “subject” in the query bar and search images, but you can also use your mobile to take a snap and search about it, if that’s not enough for you Google even offers you to put in the URL of image/Upload the image and search images and articles related to the your image. Well this might not clear a picture of what I am talking about, but read ahead to know what I mean!

If you do not own a Smartphone from Apple or one that works on Android, Google has a piece of cake for you too. Google’s latest offering known as Google: Search by Image does what Google Goggles does, but on a PC. Though it still does not support shooting a photo and then searching about it (which practically on a laptop or desktop is worthless) but you can use photos from other URL or a saved image. Let’s see how it works:That’s this easy
