What's much worse is they removed the precise and custom image size search. It's now impossible to search for a 32x32 icon or a 3200x1800 wallpaper. This dumbing down and feature removal is sad and silly.
- anonytrary 7y agoI didn't notice that. I never used exact dimension searches because more often than not, they eliminate all of the interesting results which I would have been able to crop/resize to my desired dimensions manually. It's better to have some results you can transform than to have no results.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoThey also had very useful "larger than 4MP", "larger than 8MP", ... options. It was easy to find very high resolution images.
- anonytrary 7y agoAh, yes, now I do remember those more useful options. I definitely recall using them once or twice. I can't say I missed it though (seeing as I clearly forgot about it). I guess someone who needs to do it on a daily basis would miss it more.
- papito 7y agoMan, the old Internet was great, wasn't it.... Now we get no proper advanced image search, and a bunch of paid Russian trolls. Good trade.
- joedamore 7y agoI was also really frustrated when they removed the exact size filter under search tools. You can add "imagesize:32x32" to your search query to only show images of a desired size, but I'd still rather see Google bring back the search tool option.
- DamnInteresting 7y agoFYI you can still access these options (and more) with the Google Advanced Image Search: https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search edit: Oh, it no longer has "custom" under the sizes. Hmm.
