Anki Image Search v2 Addon Basically scraps Yandex Images Search and places them on your card. This only works for Anki 2.1.54+
Forked from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/885589449, https://github.com/haoxuany/anki_image_search
Installation
You can now install this addon by simply copying the add-on code 432495333 into Anki (under Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons). You no longer need to download anything manually!
How On the card editor (from either the “Add” or “Browse” dialog), there are three buttons added on the upper right portion of the editor: Search Image, Previous Image and Next Image.
Basically just type in your search query in the field with name “English” in the card, and use those buttons. The image will be inserted/updated in the field “Image”.
Also you can change field names in settings:
Yandex Image Search provide good results for English or Russian queries, other languages have not been tested.
You can track the project on github https://github.com/nerevar/anki_image_search_v2
Why The main reason I did that, is to make learning other languages more comfortable for me (and others) because original Image Search addon, which uses Google Images Search, looked abandoned and didn’t work. And, of course, because of 2 free evennings :)
Also, I agree with original author of addon: he writes, that he knows just how important it is to be able to point at pictures and recall words without going through a translation phase. He got annoyed doing it by hand at around 20 cards.
License
None of this would be possible without Yandex Images. Even though technically I’m scrapping Yandex Images unofficial API which I found on this github repo

Add-on doesn’t work. After installing and restarting, Anki shows a message that says it can’t access the settings. Forget also about the buttons in the card creation/edition window
Project seems dead too. Do not install.

Works fine, but better to make config.json configurable from the GUI, either way it will crush if the user has different fields names

It is a nice plugin! Thanks! The result of searching English vocabulary is better than Baidu in my test. Look forward to adding “Batch” function!

Hey just for some others who were having issues - me too - but I got it to work.
(When first installed, I was getting the same: “Error - An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key…”)
You need to go into the app settings and configure the query field (text the app wil search for) and then the image field where you want the image to go.
Type them as they appear on your card, probably case sensitive — so for me it was - “Front” (query field) and then Image (image f
