Select & Search - Capture Screen and Search Instantly

Select & Search – The Ultimate Visual Search Tool 🔍 Search what you see. Instantly. 🤌🏻 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. ➽ What Select & Search Can Do » 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.
