Abstract

Techniques to facilitate image searches using context of an image frame in a document are described. In one or more implementations, an image frame included within a document is detected, such as when the frame is inserted or selected. Content in the document in the vicinity of the image frame is analyzed to derive query terms corresponding to the content. Tag elements created for the query terms are exposed to enable selection of individual query terms as search parameters. An image search is conducted using selected query terms and images returned as results of the search are presented a candidates for insertion into the frame. Previews of images as being inserted in the image frame can be exposed show how the document would look with different images placed in the frame. Selection of a particular image from the arrangement causes insertion of the particular image into the image frame.
