Last month we wrote about OffiSync, a powerful plugin that directly ties Microsoft Office to Google Docs, allowing you to save your desktop files to the cloud automatically. Since launch the plugin has fared quite well, with over 50,000 downloads. And today it's releasing a new version that could prove immensely useful for those of you that frequently use Office.The biggest addition to the plugin is integrated text and image search. While Office comes with a directory of clip art, it leaves something to leave desired — I almost always find myself just going straight to Google Image search. Now, using OffiSync, you can search Google Images directly from within Office. The plugin supports advanced searches, like sorting by color, size, and usage rights. Once you've found an image you like, simply hit 'Insert' and the picture will appear wherever your text cursor was. There's also an integrated browser: just navigate to the page you'd like to quote, highlight the text, and hit Insert.
