**Updated to 1.4** Fixed: Script did not work after changes at [google.de/images](http://google.de/images) Fixed: Picture URLs with a ";" in it did not work ---

**Update 1.5:** FIXED: Google introduced a new layout at images search. That stopped the script from working. Now it works again. NEW: I introduced two new columns at the "List of search results..." window: "description" gives you an text extract form the page where the picture is from "page" gives you the URL of the page where the picture is from CHANGED: The old script was made for google. **de** /images, this version is now for google. **com** /images. You can change that by simply changing the [IndexUrl]=.. line. I guess you can also put in other country domain ending to get country-specific search results. Just test it! CHANGED: I rearranged the different columns in at the "List of search results..." window. CHANGED: The "website" column comes now without leading "www." - see starting post for download - ---

You can already do this with my discogs script. [/t/9226/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9226/1) Set all "DISCOGS..." fields to "no" Set "DISCOGS~TRACK\_OPTION: LEAVE TRACK EMPTY?" to "yes" Then the only thing which will be stored is the artwork. ---

How Can I modify it for advance search in one site? ---

Use the google operator site: [http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/an...p;answer=136861](http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p=adv_operators&answer=136861) You can use the operator in the search box, or you can modify the script to always search only in one site. For example, search only at [amzon.com](http://amzon.com): [IndexUrl]=http://www.google.com/images?q=%s **+site:amazon.com** However, some test I made with this didn't always bring me the results I hoped for. I don't know why. ---
