MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
OMG THIS. Even the GIF search fukkin sucks.
RibbleTPibits
Try searching reactions. Smh
TsukariYoshi
I remember when it was at least somewhat usable - now it's even more garbage than it's ever been
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Pretty much, 100%. I've hated the search function for years now. Never bother using it.

Oh you can use a white crayon as a wax resist for say watercolors or dyeing Easter Eggs, or being used on black paper, or being used as a candle in an emergency!

I know right? I can't find the gif ANYWHERE.

Imgur has a search function?
lonelyrangerofthedreams
Imgur has a search function!!!!?!?!?!?!!!!

What... the hell... is wrong with Imgur in this regard?
The tagging system doesn't work well at all. And you can't even confine searches to your own posts. I have tried the "site:imgur.com" tag in Google search, but I find it often incomplete, missing images that I know are on the site.

I've been here for 13 years. I know the search bar exists. I assumed it was just there for aesthetics since it's never once worked.
Cataleast
I've all but given up on using the reaction gif feature as well, because I always find what I'm looking for sooo much quicker by searching for " gif imgur" on Google.
IceWeaselX
You use white crayons on top of other colors/shades. You can also use them on white surfaces to alter the texture.
bloxxing
i've tried using search. agree.

Imgur still has a search function? I assumed they gave that up as a bad job years ago.
meme2zombie
They out-right removed it from most pages with the beta view.
Ben209
Not wrong, but maybe, nevermind it’s never going to change
Willk95
Many memes out there that made me laugh once on Imgur, and I may never see them again

What this needs is more AI! /s

It works pretty good on the mobile app

Does anyone access the account image gallery feature? The link to "gallery" or "images" was taken away, but I found that this URL works: [username].imgur.com/all
It stays in my frequently used URL list, so I don't need to type the whole thing. But it sure would be nice to have a built-in link. Why did they yank it?

Ingar has a search function?
Hexrowe
In browser at least (I've never used the app) you can access the real search from the Settings page - click on your username, then Settings - or by turning on the old layout. The sorry excuse for a search field in the "modern" layout is indeed useless.
Snaitf
Hey, thanks, I didn't know this still existed. I was missing that type of search on here just the other day. :)
Endocrom
And even after that it's two words maximum. Otherwise it brings up every single post with any of the words.
flyingnetherlander
*But not if the illiterate person is using Imgur's search function...

dal42
Its the best search, It is the greatest search ever. Its so great - china wants to buy it, creating billions of jobs. I renamed it trump finds.. Its made of Greenland minerals, payed by putin with tarifs - or was it europe? . it finds friends (pedo's) , and redact them .. /S
meme2zombie
Oh there's way more uses for a white crayon.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
Selfawerewolf
Some paper is not white.
meme2zombie
Black surfaces for one.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
Oh okay, I thought you were going somewhere else with crayons. Carry on
meme2zombie
Yeah that too, the colour doesn't matter if you want to make Homer Simpson dumber.
krylani
Also white surfaces, such as writing your kids' names on hard-boiled eggs before dying them for Easter.
RawBlow
There’s an Imgur search function?
motus
Kinda
AisforApple
Hardly. They've actively reduced its functionality over the years, and now it's basically only useful to look at tags, which isn't useful.
swofromtherock
And just doesn't work. I've tried to search tags before and it just doesn't show you post that definitely exist.
TomBrokaw
no
Lutki
Yes
crazyspelling
This was the best comment I've read all morning.
NZSheeps
I just use Google and slap site:imgur.com on the end
SavageDrums
I'm using duckduckgo for all searches these days, because fuck google.
swofromtherock
Brave is my choice, I didn't see much difference between Google and DDG.
meme2zombie
But now google image search sucks too.
Violet143
While true, that's not how the site: function works... It searches solely the .com, .ca, .gov, etc of the after the colon. So site:imgur boobs would get you titties pics
3Davideo
Half the time this ends up with Google ignoring the site:imgur.com part. Almost all the time if you do an image search with more than two words before the site: tag, and recently I've had it fail to work on a non-image search! It used to work great, and now it doesn't!
Alistairetheblu
When that happens, put "site:imgur.com", highlight it with a space at the end, then copy/paste 6 times
3Davideo
Does that actually make it work better or is it just a useful way to vent the frustration at the enshittification?
Alistairetheblu
Yeah, I did it out of frustration but it did actually work.
jonhamsandwich11
I also use this function to find the hidden pron on here…
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
jonhamsandwich11
It’s RIGHT THERE! Just type what you’re into and add imgur in that search and you’ll find hidden stuff you can favourite it for the future
PineappleLoopsBroether
welll wellll wellll look at you..... someone with almost as many favorites folders as I have.
Hornedequine
I kept trying to organize my favorites, but would get distracted and forget 5 minutes later, not like theres a point any more since 80% of it is hidden
