The amount I have to manipulate #Google #ImageSearch queries is prompting Google to confirm I’m not a robot on a daily basis now. I would love to switch to some of the alternatives but they’re not good yet at finding some niche things I need to find, especially when it comes to older anime art. I know the results are still there but Google has made it more difficult to find hi-res results of specific images. I’m resorting to using #Reddit to crowdsource now, something I don’t like to do.
