About
Select & Search – The Ultimate Visual Search Tool 🔍 Search what you see. Instantly. 🤌🏻 Ever spotted a product in a video, a logo in a presentation, a pattern in a design, or a detail inside a locked-down image and wished you could search for it right away? Traditional reverse-image search only works on standalone, clickable images. It breaks the moment you want to search inside a YouTube frame, a Zoom call, a PDF, a Figma canvas, or a protected image. Select & Search fixes that by turning your cursor into a visual search superpower. With a quick drag over any area of your screen, Select & Search captures exactly what you’re looking at and sends it straight to the search engine of your choice, no screenshots, no saving files, no manual uploads. ➽ What Select & Search Can Do » Search anything you can see If it’s visible on your screen, you can search it: video frames, UI elements, infographics, product shots, memes, text inside images, and non-clickable elements on any webpage. » One gesture, full workflow Click the extension icon or use the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows, Cmd+Shift+S on Mac), drag a box, release, and your results open in a new tab. No extra steps. » Choose from 40+ search engines Go beyond a single engine. Pick the best tool for the job with an A–Z engine picker, complete with logos and popular engines like Google Lens, Bing Images, Yandex, Shutterstock and many more! List of all the engines is available at https://select-and-search.vanbanstudios.com. You’re always one click away from switching engines via a clean, visual engine selection dialog. » “Search images on this page” picker Don’t want to crop the screen? Open the built-in image picker, browse all images detected on the current page, and search any of them in one click. » Smart recent history Your last searches are saved locally as thumbnails inside the popup, so you can revisit a result without re-selecting or re-uploading. » Fits naturally into your browsing Right-click anywhere to start a selection, or right-click directly on an image to search it instantly. Use the popup buttons, keyboard shortcuts, or context menu, whatever feels fastest for you. ➽ Perfect For - » Online shoppers: Find the exact product (or cheaper alternatives) from videos, feeds, and posts. » Designers & creatives: Track down stock sources, similar visuals, fonts, or reference material instantly. » Researchers, journalists & students: Verify sources of viral images, find originals, or locate higher-res copies of charts and diagrams. » Brand & IP teams: Quickly check trademarks, logos, and designs across multiple official databases in one flow. » Curious explorers: Identify landmarks, artwork, buildings, or anything you see while browsing. ➽ Privacy First Your browsing is your business. Select & Search is built with privacy in mind: » No personal data collection. » No sale or resale of your browsing data. » Searches are performed either locally or directly with the engines you choose. You stay in control of what you search and where it goes. ➽ How to Use 1. Click the extension icon or press Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) / Cmd+Shift+S (Mac) . 2. Drag to draw a box around whatever you want to search. 3. Release to instantly open results in a new tab using your selected search engine. 4. Optionally, right-click an image or use the “Search images on this page” picker for quick, image-only searches. Stop just looking at what’s on your screen. Start searching it. Add Select & Search to Chrome today and experience the web visually.
