Google is great at introducing things then a while later changing or removing them. Google Image search is perfect for those of us who work with web content that we need to find larger copies of, or looking for the original source, etc. But Google took away the search Google images line from the right click drop down window, replacing it with a half-assed "Google Lens" feature.

For a while you could open a blank window and enter "chrome://flags" (no quotes) and scroll to "Search your screen with Google Lens" and disable it. But now those of us who disabled it are again seeing Google Lens, and it is still disabled on that flags page. SO - other remedies:

1. Scroll to the bottom of the Google Lens results and there is a line that asks if you couldn't find what you wanted, then try Google Images - and it will take you to the search you wanted in the first place.

2. If you open Google in a blank tab there is a link to images in the upper right corner of the page. It's a little hinky to use though.

3. There is now a Chrome extension that will add a line to that drop down menu so now you can choose the Lens or the Image searches. Here is a video with the information. This is the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.

The Mudcat search isn't working at all now, so the workaround for that is to open an advanced search page (I use Google - your mileage will vary depending on what browser you use for advanced searches).

Google Advanced Search lets you enter the search term, then a few lines below on "site or domain" enter http://mudcat.org (because if you put just Mudcat.org it may try to add the WWW that isn't a part of the Mudcat address). You'll get some results; not as many (and not as obscure) as what the Mudcat search gives, but it's something.
