Your search start now, a new page is created and soon the first images will be displayed in that page.

Search properties
Minimum image size
Images have a size expressed in the widht and height of that image in pixels. Usually you want to ignore the smallest ones, often they are either thumbnails of a larger image that you will also get, site lay out images or advertisements. By specifying a minimum you filter out those images. Another usage of the minimum image size is making sure you get images of good quality only.
Minimum file size
The image is contained in a JPG file. This file has a certain size in KB. In general, the larger the size the larger the quality of the image. If you wish you can filter out the smaller ones.
Download folder
Later when images are found you might want to save images. To avoid that you are prompted every time for a file name and folder there is a default download folder. All images you save will be saved in this folder, without prompting.
Naming convention
As we are not prompting for a file name in the standard save option, GrabJPG will make a filename itself. You can choose how it does that, by default the original file name is kept. If the file already exists an extra identifier is added to make it unique.

GrabJPG uses normal search engines on the web as Google, Yahoo and AltaVista for finding the images you search. The program makes queries on those search engines, refines the results, test the images, if OK, loads them into a temporarily cache and shows them to you.
Using multiple search engines simultaneously assures that for almost any search you can think of, a lot of images will be found.
