Search by photo

Search by photo is done using usual standard methods BatchSearchItemsFrame and SearchItemsFrame with the use of ImageUrl or ImageFileId parameters. Read more about them in documentation "Search (OT API)" in table "Search options and conditions".

It is recommended to also explicitly indicate in search parameters of a particular provider that is being searched by photo if you have more than one provider.
