How to Find Region Specific Image With Google
Date 8/2/2013
Have you notice that Google has a advance search option for their users.The advanced search page for Google Image Search has been totally revamped and, while this is mostly a cosmetic change, it does have one new option –and Google provide a advanced option that called search by region.
You can choose a country from the drop-down menu and Google search will give preference to images that are either physically hosted in that part of the world or are served from a country-specific top-level domain (like .in or .co.uk).

For better understand this I show you with this example, a search for “movie posters” on Google Image Search with the region set as United States is likely to display posters from Hollywood movies while the results would be very different if the region were set to another country while leaving every other search parameter same.

Search by region adds a new “cr” parameter to image search URL with the value equal to the country code.
