Ngl I am kind of annoyed that it keeps changing the images when I simply want to click on an image to open it, not to "search" for it.

An image search engine where I can't intuitively open up an image seems like a design flaw. Right clicking is not a suitable solution IMO either, because we all left click to open, not search.

Edit: I also suggest adding a label stating the dimensions of the image, as well as a filter for sizes.

Edit 2: Also adding a button to open the image in a new tab, or simply clicking a maximized image opens it in a new tab.

Cool concept though.

Once you click on the photo, that same photo is in the top left and you just have to click it again and you will get a close up with the IP address

Yes but still changes the images I am looking at against my will. At least an overlay over the image that shows two buttons when I hover over, Expand or Search, would be better than deciding for the user that they must change their search results because they simply want to see a specific image.

If I search for Chickens, and click on an image I like, that means I want to view the image not change my query from Chickens to whatever the metadata of the image I opened is.

As in, if I see two images I like, I click on one and suddenly the rest of the images change, that annoys me as a user who still wanted to browse the rest of the gallery they first saw.

UX is based on either intuition, e.g. Click an image to expand

Or by placing buttons where the user can select the action they want.

Also, if I open a search link in a new tab, the search bar at the top does not show, I think this is unintended behavior. https://i.imgur.com/62BnH0e.jpeg

Not trying to shit on you, the project is very nice and useful. Just that UX, I feel, needs some polishing to not be punishing to the user.
