Select & Search

Capture any Area on Screen and Search it Across 40+ Engines.

Visit

Ever spotted a product in a video, a logo in a presentation, a pattern in a design, or a detail inside a locked-down image and wished you could search for it right away?


Traditional reverse-image search only works on standalone, clickable images. It breaks the moment you want to search inside a YouTube frame, a Zoom call, a PDF, a Figma canvas, or a protected image.


Select & Search fixes that by turning your cursor into a visual search superpower.


With a quick drag over any area of your screen, Select & Search captures exactly what you’re looking at and sends it straight to the search engine of your choice, no screenshots, no saving files, no manual uploads.

Features

  • Search anything you can see. If it’s visible on your screen, you can search it: video frames, UI elements, infographics, product shots, memes, text inside images, and non-clickable elements on any webpage.
  • One gesture, full workflow. Click the extension icon or use the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows, Cmd+Shift+S on Mac), drag a box, release, and your results open in a new tab. No extra steps.
  • Choose from 40+ search engines. Go beyond a single engine. Pick the best tool for the job with an A–Z engine picker, complete with logos and popular engines like Google Lens, Bing Images, Yandex, Shutterstock and many more! The list of all the engines is available at https://select-and-search.vanbanstudios.com. You’re always one click away from switching engines via a clean, visual engine selection dialog.
  • “Search images on this page” picker. Don’t want to crop the screen? Open the built-in image picker, browse all images detected on the current page, and search for any of them in one click.
  • Smart recent history: Your last searches are saved locally as thumbnails inside the pop-up, so you can revisit a result without re-selecting or re-uploading.
  • Fits naturally into your browsing. Right-click anywhere to start a selection, or right-click directly on an image to search it instantly. Use the pop-up buttons, keyboard shortcuts, or context menu, whatever feels fastest for you.

Building tools that make a difference.

Many times while browsing, I just want to search a specific part of my screen, an image, a product, a logo, or even a small detail, But.. Existing tools either don’t work on certain sites, are locked to one search engine, or simply miss results. That’s why I built Select & Search. It lets you instantly select anything on your screen and search it across nearly 50 different search engines, giving you control instead of relying on a single algorithm. This idea came from a real problem I faced: Google Lens couldn’t identify a product I was browsing, but searching the same image across multiple engines finally gave me the result. That moment made it clear that one engine isn’t enough. Along with screen selection search, the extension also includes: - Search history to revisit past finds - Upload an image manually to search - Find all images on a webpage and search them at once If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to identify or find something online, I hope this tool makes your browsing a lot more powerful. Would love your feedback and ideas, happy to improve it further!
