Is there an easy extension point to add additional search providers such as TinEye?
Many times that I'm using an image search, it's because I'm looking for the original source of some file (because, believe it or not, people download and repost images without permission and sometimes I want to know the author).
Usually when I do that, I do actually use Bing. And Google. And also TinEye, all three, and between the three of them I have a good chance at actually locating the image's original source. And so what I'd really like here is some form of easy provider list.
