anything faster is better

a better image searching site - anything faster is better

ZEEGG Image Search:This site is powered by Live Images Search...But what it attracts me only is that you can view the images directly by one click on the result page instead of opening a new window with the original page in a frame, which I think will save me a lot of time,bandwidth,mouse clicks...(Will this site be a form of violation of the intellectual property rights of others?)

When we use the Google Image search(or others),by default, when we click on an image, we’re taken to a page with frames that loads the page where the image is present. We need to click on the thumbnail on top of that page to view the image in its real location.We can use the ZEEGG.com - it links the image thumbnails on the search result pages straight to their original URLs.
