Google Image Search

[Con]

I am a "Newbie" so please keep it simple.

I would like to make a button that would copy the plant name (Botanical Name)field; go to Google Images and do a search for images with that field name.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

How about a web viewer with a field that defines the query?

"http://images.google.com/images?"&"q="&TableName::SearchFieldName

Then you wouldn't need a button just enter the plant name, and tab to the next field.

You could also use the above in a script as:

Open URL [No Dialog;"http://images.google.com/images?"&"q="&TableName::SearchFieldName

]

Thanks, but I would like to see the google images of the plant when I want. I have some pictures with each plant material in my data base. If I see a picture of a plant to add to my data base, I could copy it and add it to that record, ie. "Nearly Wild Rose".

That's not what your original question stated.

You will almost always get more than one result with google.

Did you want to copy an image into filemaker from google?

[Con]

Yes and no.

If you do a google image search on "Nearly Wild Rose" you may get 53 pages of images. I would look through the images to select the best and closest to reality. Then I would copy that image and paste it into my database of plants.

Thanks
