How to Add Image Search Results To Your Convention Search Engine

Recently, Google added new feature to its Custom Search -image search results.
If you post lot of photos on your blog like I do, Image Search Results will help your visitors quickly and easily find the photos they need. This quality is simply a must-add to photo- all-embracing blogs e.g. blogs on photography, food, celebrities, art, craft, travel etc…

As soon as the feature is added, two tabs will be added on top of your search results. The first Web tab has your current text-based web search results and the second Image tab, contains the image-only search results.

How to enable image search

1. Now, Login to your Google Custom Search
2. Go to the Control Panel of the search engine that you want to add the image tab to.
3. Click Basics on the left sidebar.
4. Check the Enable image search checkbox located at the bottom of the page.
5. Click Save Changes button and you’re done.

Changing the results layout

1. Click Look and feel on the sidebar.
2. Choose one of the three layouts -classic, column, or popup (default).

1. Click Save & Get Code button.
2. Copy the search results code (the one in the lower box if you are provided with two sets of codes) and paste it to replace your existing code.
