[WS] Google Images Cover Search

pone · March 29, 2011, 10:25pm

&tbs= alone means nothing, it has to be used in combination with one or more of the codes in step 4 of my detailed explanation. You simply forgot step four:

Add the following codes separated by comma to limit your search:
iar:s _ _ _ quadratic pictures only

isz:s _ _ _ small (side length under 400 px)
isz:m _ _ _ medium (side length between 400 and 800 px)
isz:l _ _ _ large (side length over 800 px)
isz:lt,islt:qsvga _ _ _ larger than 400x300
isz:lt,islt:vga _ _ _ larger than 640x480
isz:lt,islt:svga _ _ _ larger than 800x600
isz:lt,islt:xga _ _ _ larger than 1024x768
isz:ex,iszw:500,iszh:500 _ _ _ exact file size (500x500 in this example)

ift:jpg _ _ _ .jpg files only
ift:png _ _ _ .png files only
ift:bmp _ _ _ .bmp files only
ift:gif _ _ _ .gif files only
ift:svg _ _ _ .svg files only

Example:
[IndexUrl]=http://www.google.de/images?q=%s&tbs=iar:s,isz:l,ift:jpg

this gives you only quadratic (iar:s) large (iar:l) jpg (ift:jpg) files

The way I read step 4 I understood that I only added those codes if I wished to limit my search
I'll try adding one ift:jpg and see if that works.

If you don't want to limit your search, you do not have to edit at all!

(i'will make this clear in the starting post)

Hi

this is also a nice script.
Think you're mr. nice script maker right?

Another question i want to Search for Artist + Titel so what i have to change?
Because i have many digitalisied Vinyls and so on many different Songs (Albums/Vinyls) from
1 Artist so i have to search for Artist & Titel.

thx 4 help

open the script with a text editior (e.g. notepad.exe or wordpad.exe).
go to the line:
[SearchBy]=$replace(%album%+$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%),&,+,#,+,?,+,=,+,%,+)
in this line, replace %album% with %title%

Updated to 1.4

Fixed: Script did not work after changes at google.de/images

Fixed: Picture URLs with a ";" in it did not work

pone · December 9, 2011, 2:31pm

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."

Hi !

Do you plan to do the same plug-in for www.discogs.com?

pone · January 27, 2012, 4:33pm

You can already do this with my discogs script.
/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?

pone · May 2, 2012, 8:52am

Use the google operator site:
http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/an...p;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:

[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.
