Chat & AI
Finding real photos with image search
Ask what something looks like and get real photos from the web, which is different from asking the AI to draw one.
Step 1
Search, not generate
Generating an image makes something new. Image search finds real, existing photos on the web. Use it when you need to know what something actually looks like, or want a real photo for a document. Say "what does a secretary bird look like" or "show me a photo of the Sydney Opera House". There is no button; the AI recognises the question and searches.
Press Enter to send, Shift+Enter for new line
Step 2
A row of results
Photos arrive as a scrollable strip of tiles under the reply, each with the site it came from underneath. Press the site name to open the original page in a new tab.
Step 3
See one large
Press a photo to open it full screen, with arrows to move through the set, a counter, and a View source button to the original page. Escape or a click outside closes it.
Step 4
Keep, copy or download
Hover a tile for three small buttons in its corner, Download image, Copy image and Save to documents, the same three as a generated image. The full-screen view has them too, with labels.
Step 5
Put it in a document
If a document is open in the editor, each tile also has Use in document, which prepares the message to put that photo into it. Send the message and the photo goes in.
Step 6
If a photo will not download
The photo is fetched from its source site when you save or copy it. If that site is down you see a message saying so; try another result.
Try it in Secretary, or create an account to get started.
