Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Searches multiple image providers using note fields or selected text and inserts chosen images into a configured field, with browsing, per-note-type settings, and smart replacement.
Adds editor buttons that scrape Google Images from the first field's search term and insert or cycle images in the second field, with proxy and HTTPS-bypass settings.
Adds a 🖼 editor button that searches Bing Images and inserts a chosen image from a 3×3 grid into a note field, with per-note-type field mapping and SafeSearch options.
Adds a Search Images button to the Browse editor toolbar that opens a Google image search for a configurable note field, with domain and shortcut settings.
Search Anki's media folder by filename while editing, preview images on hover, insert with one click, and rename images with automatic updates to every note using them.
Browse and search collection.media to insert images into cards, replace or rename files across every reference, and find unused or duplicate media for recoverable cleanup.

How
On the card editor (from either the "Add" or "Browse" dialog), there are three buttons added on the upper right portion of the editor: **Search Image**, **Previous Image** and **Next Image**.
Basically just type in your search query in the field with name "English" in the card, and use those buttons. The image will be inserted/updated in the field "Image".
Also you can change field names in settings:
Yandex Image Search provide good results for English or Russian queries, other languages have not been tested.
You can track the project on github https://github.com/nerevar/anki_image_search_v2
Why
The main reason I did that, is to make learning other languages more comfortable for me (and others) because original Image Search addon, which uses Google Images Search, looked abandoned and didn't work.
And, of course, because of 2 free evennings :)
Also, I agree with original author of addon: he writes, that he knows just how important it is to be able to point at pictures and recall words without going through a translation phase. He got annoyed doing it by hand at around 20 cards.
License
None of this would be possible without Yandex Images. Even though technically I'm scrapping Yandex Images unofficial API which I found on this github repo
