The "Search by image" feature not displaying on latest version of Google Images

[gary-woods]

Unfortunately, since Google Images interface was updated for a short while ago, the Search by Image button is not appearing. The View Image button is working though.

I am using the latest version of Firefox: 68.0.1

Search by image should be appearing down beside the copyright information with the new design.

I don't see it.

[bijij]

Should show up there as circled.

[mzso]

Well, I updated to the latest (View Image - 3.2.0, and now 3.2.2) in Firefox, but I only see the copyright text there.

Or where is that exactly? When I click on a thumbnail it doesn't look like that.

Oh, I see now. I use the Google Images Restored addon, to get GI more usable and this doesn't work with it.

[bijij]

When you click on a thumbnail might i ask what the site looks like for you? google images looks different for different people because google likes to test different designs.

[mzso]

Well, it looks like the old design, because of the aforementioned extension.

@bijij So ultimately it looks like this:

Anyay. It's unfortunate that I can't find a way to bring back the old appearance and the search by image link as well.

[bijij]

Can you link me to the extension? I'll have a try and adding the link back to it if you'd like.

This should be it:

@bijij

that extension loads the full sized image, and when you used the view image button, IT WORKS!

This could definitely help issues

You should definitely do a collab or something and enhance the extension

@needforsuv that extension does not work for me with the OCT19 design.
So might not be a perfect solution.

Annoying that google keeps changing things for the worse and ruining its own service. Taking away features, ruining layouts.

I still use the old sidebar tools (via an user style that I found) which is far more practical than the annoying bar that is hidden by default and you need to click multiple times to bring up a feature.
