Add a link to a google images search for items without image

Issue #110 new
Waldir Pimenta created an issue

For example, for the Gender game, this search can be helpful (searches specifically for images of human faces):

https://www.google.com/search?tbs=itp%3Aface&tbm=isch&q="<Person+name>"

For the person game, we could drop the type:face requirement in the search and just use

http://images.google.com/images?q="<Item+title>"

    don't know... images on Google image should be imported to commons, before being able to add them... a search into commons would be very useful, though :)

    Note that this isn't a proposal for the Image game; it's just a convenience link to allow players to have additional clues about what the item they're seeing in the game actually is. The advantage of a google image search is that if there's any image available, it will show up (even if it's non-free). For the purpose of making sure a person is male or female, for example, this would be enough.

    oh... i did not read it that way ;-) - yes, would be useful, especially for some languages where the end of the first name is absolutely no clue to the gender :D
