Hi Maggirl2k2,
Thank you for your question.
Here are three search engines that can help you find specific images
on the web:
----------------------------
Google's Image Search - http://images.google.com/
Google's Advanced Image Search:
http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en
Google's Image Search is the most comprehensive on the Web, with more
than 425 million images indexed and available for viewing. To use
image search, simply type your query in the image search box and click
the "Search" button or hit "Enter" on your keyboard. When you see the
results page, click on the thumbnail version of the picture you want
to view. This displays a larger version of the image, as well as the
page on which the original image is located. Google analyzes the text
on the page adjacent to the image, the image caption and dozens of
other factors to determine the image content. You can specify the
filetype, size, and coloration of the picture. Google's Advanced Image
Search can even return images from a specific site or domain.

Ditto.com - http://www.ditto.com/
Ditto.com provides a visual mechanism to search the web using pictures
instead of text. Users are directed to the originating web site on
which the pictures are located.
"Our Technology -- We believe relevancy is the key difference in our
technology, and the following 3 elements are equally important in the
overall makeup of that technology:
Indexing: We identify websites containing media via our automated
crawler. We then select, rank, weight, filter and rate pictures,
illustrations, clipart, photographs, drawings and other image-related
material. Next, we index the images from these websites. Finally,
these results are ranked and displayed in order of relevance.
Relevance: In order to achieve an exceptional level of relevance to a
user’s search, we have developed a proprietary filtering process that
combines sophisticated automated filtering with human editors.
Verification: Highly relevant results require ongoing maintenance. We
continually review current images and links to ensure that our
database contains accurate and up-to-date results."

Lycos Multimedia Search - http://multimedia.lycos.com/
To search for pictures, simply select the "Pictures" radio button,
enter a word or phrase in the search box, and click "Search!" You'll
see a page of links to picture files that have your search term in the
Web address, filename, or the HTML title. Click on the "thumbnail"
pictures to see a full-size version of the image.

I hope this helps!
