Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which keyword did you type? Try using shorter words like http://stevejobs.jpg.to

The suggested links. http://apple.jpg.to doesn't work for me.

Please try http://orange.jpg.to or other keywords to see if it works.

I like the idea, and it works. Here's two constructive concerns:

1. Can you make this faster to type than a browser extension that searches from the address bar (or in Chrome's case, omnibox)?

2. How do you account for false positives, like a picture that doesn't match the word?

Note that you can put in spaces by using dots or %2b http://large.gorilla.eating.a.taco.jpg.to/ http://baby%2belephant.jpg.to/

UTF8 characters are supported too! e.g. http://ハッカー.jpg.to (ハッカー means hacker in japanese, I found it from google translate)

Note that that particular word is a katakana phonetic import from English; in romaji that reads "hakkaa". So while that works as an example of multilingual character support, it may not be the best example for a foreign word per se. :-)

1. keyword.jpg.to is the most intuitive and easy to type domain I can think of at the moment. If you got a better idea please tell me :) 2. I planned to allow image upload and voting to select the best image that match the word. I believe this method can give better result in the long term.

looks like a catchall apache url rewrite rule with some rewriting voodoo to corresponding google image hits, pretty lame imho also the dns is not setup corectly to handle spaces in domains mentioned here

It seems whitespace is not allowed in subdomain. I need to research further to confirm it.

It is the first image result on google image search. The previous comments on different keywords verified this. To amaze yourself, try "sex" and "male" behind-the-scene technical aspect are not difficult to realize (either google image API, which is deprecated, or parse the result of http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=h... and get the first image url after a predefined string anchor, say ), but the id…

Very nice observation!

I take that since your website didn't state any call limit, you must be using the second method (parsing google image result page).

Give user option to get more photo (in ways like: /1, /2) as the index of result page. Or even randomize the result (provide an option to random deliver the result, so same call doesn't result in the same image) might serve the user good. lots of ideas.
