Click the little camera icon in the search box and it pops a modal that says Search any image with Google Lens.
replyThe textbox below it says Paste image link, but you can actually paste an image from your clipboard here, too.
And if it doesn't work on the Google home page, just go to images.google.com and do the same, it always works there for some reason.
replyYou’re a hero. So glad I complained. Why would they not just keep this working with the main text box focused…
replyIn similar fashion in the Android Play Store they moved the search off from the top bar. For some time they educated users that "oo the search is no longer here, you need to click there -> to get to the page with search!". That has stopped (for me?), but they still haven't found any other use for same place in the first view.
replyI suppose it was too convenient.
No idea. I used it a lot too, not sure if pasting here worked from the beginning of them introducing this Google Lens thing or not.
replyI wonder if it’s a deliberate anti-user decision to get more URLs and less pasted images.
replyURLs expand Googlebot’s indexes; pasted images don’t.
If they wanted more urls they would allow mobile users to search by url instead of only allowing them to search by image.
replyI might be missing something but Google Image Search still works for me.
replythis + image translate with copy+paste is the only reason I ever use yandex of all places...
