README

Anki Image Search v2 Addon

Basically scraps Yandex Images Search and places them on your card. This only works for Anki 2.1.54+

Forked from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/885589449, https://github.com/haoxuany/anki_image_search

Installation

You can now install this addon by simply copying the add-on code 432495333 into Anki (under Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Get Add-ons). You no longer need to download anything manually!

More details here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/432495333

How

On the card editor (from either the "Add" or "Browse" dialog), there are three buttons added on the upper right portion of the editor: Search Image, Previous Image and Next Image.

Basically just type in your search query in the field with name "English" in the card, and use those buttons. The image will be inserted/updated in the field "Image".

Example

Also you can change field names in settings:

Settings

Yandex Image Search provide good results for English or Russian queries, other languages have not been tested.

You can track the project on github.

License

None of this would be possible without Yandex Images. Even though technically I'm scrapping Yandex Images unofficial API which I found on this github repo.

The icons are provided by Open Iconic. Open Iconic is licensed under MIT.

This project is under GPLv2.

Why

The main reason I did that, is to make learning other languages more comfortable for me (and others) because original Image Search addon, which uses Google Images Search, looked abandoned and didn't work. And, of course, because of 2 free evennings :)

Also, I agree with original author of addon: he writes, that he knows just how important it is to be able to point at pictures and recall words without going through a translation phase. He got annoyed doing it by hand at around 20 cards.
