    Select the Images search option.

  2. Type one or more words in the search box, then click the Images Search button.

    Yahoo! Search looks through web sites for images that relate to the text you typed and then displays the results in your browser.

    The search results page provides a thumbnail version of each image found in the search. Below each thumbnail is the file name, image size, file size, and the web page containing the image.

    Tip: The initial search results show you all of the related images found by Yahoo! Search, including both color and black and white images. The links in the Show section at the top of the page let you narrow the results. For example, to view large images only, click the Large link. To narrow these results even further, click the Color link to view large, color images only, or click the Black & White link to view large, black and white images only.

    Click a link in the Show section to narrow the search results.

  3. To preview an image, click its thumbnail.

    Click the thumbnail to preview the image.

    Yahoo! Search displays a two-framed page with Yahoo! Search and the image thumbnail in the top frame and the web page containing the image (the hosting web page) in the bottom frame.

    • View the large version of the image by clicking the View Image link.

      Click the View Image link.

    • Save the image as a My Web bookmark by clicking the Save link.

      Click the Save link.

    • View the web page only by clicking the close Yahoo! frame link near the top, right of the page or by clicking the web page link just above the bottom frame

      Click the close Yahoo! frame link.

    • Return to the search results page by clicking the back to results link near the top, left of the page.

      Click the back to results link.

    • Mail the same preview page to a friend by clicking the Mail to Friend link.

      Your friend will view the same preview page and be able to check out the search results by clicking the back to results link. Pretty cool, isn't it?
