Topic: "Search by image is unavailable. Please try again in a few hours"

When I drop an image on the Image Search Action the browser opens to a Google page containing an empty image icon and the message in the subject.

Yep, Google has killed the API this action used. I'm still considering what to do about this.

I have updated this action to use Google Lens and it should work now. Just make sure you're running version 1.3 of this action or later. You can check which version of the action you're using by right-clicking on the Image Search action in the grid and clicking 'Edit'

The action can be installed from https://aptonic.com/actions/Image%20Search
