Images search provider: which provides better results?

in DuckDuckGo Forum • 1 year ago

What image search provides better results for you?

I am finding that my image searches are better with Google images than Bing. For example, I just queried for "Lake Kivu stratification." I used the !bimages and !images bang query and found that Bing produced only 5 images, while Google had a continuing page... It seems like Bing just stops producing results if it cannot locate results that it believes relevant.

This is one example out of millions. What are your experiences with image searches and the best provider?

I would much rather see that feature on DDG than use Google or Bing

Much as I hate to I'm still using images.google.com. I really wish there were an independent alternative to use. This is another good idea for a DDG feature to eventually add.

Agree on an independent provider and the need to be able to get different providers as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, I don't think there is going to be time in the near term to make a full blown image search, though it should be possible to get more native use of the APIs on the results pages.

I think there are some sites which show creative commons and that could be one good thing. I think there needs to be tag or something like that to search for creative commons images. Pixabay.com is one such search engine but not actively developed.

Google image search is okay, but I can't stand the tracking.

Compfight is a Flickr search engine that I like to use that can filter images by their Creative Commons license. I just submitted a !Bang request for it to Yegg.
