RevEye: Reverse image search extension for Google Chrome

This extension allows to perform an inverse image search by right-clicking onto any image in a web site.

The context menu can be configured to contain either a single button with the default search engine, or a cascaded menu with all included search engines. Custom search engines can be added by the user (see below).

Install

Stable version: Go to the Google Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome".

Development version: Download the source from GitHub and load the extension into Chrome.

Adding user-defined search engines

To add a custom search engine, open the extension options page and click on the "Add custom engine" button. Fill in the name and URL of the search engine (use %s as a placeholder for the image URL). For example, to add SauceNAO, fill in the following values:

Name: SauceNAO
URL: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=%s

Make sure the check box is checked and click "Save". The search engine will be added to the context menu.
