How to Search the Internet for Images

1.Find the desired item in the Inventory Maintenance file.

 

2.When you right-click on the item image area and select the Search the Web option the Internet Image Search dialog will run an initial internet search using the item's Brand and Description. These search results will be displayed when the dialog opens for the first time.

 

You may see a "No images were found" message when the dialog box first opens. This means you need to search again using different options.

 

3.You can try these 5 other Internet search options:

a.  Search by using the Brand alone (remove the check mark from Description).

b.  Search by the Description alone (remove the check mark from Brand).  

c.  Use the Search text box and enter keywords related to the item. Remove the check marks from Description and Brand to search without those options.

 

 

•Search using Search text only.

 

•Search using Description and Search text.

             

d.  Use the “Limit search to” option by entering a website name in the text box after the "www." (see image below).
