It'd be really nice to be able to search for local images in the archive, like Tineye and GIS.

I know you're going to implement libpuzzle at one point, so this might not be as useful to you, as you'll need to actually upload the image to the server for that to work, but just MD5ing the image and searching for the hash would be a really nice addition.

I baked [a quick prototype](http://archive.easymodo.net/imagesearch.html) that reads the file through Javascript with FileReader, MD5s it also through JS and then redirects to the archive with the computed hash. (always redirects to /jp/ only at the moment, you can select whether to redirect to foolz or warosu [here](http://archive.easymodo.net/)). Works in Firefox and Chrome.
