After it gets integrated with the Yahoo! Widget Engine sidebar, the app brings up a small horizontal frame on the screen, which includes the search tool. It's necessary to type or paste from the Clipboard a tag to take into account when browsing all galleries in the file hosting image website.

The action can be confirmed by pressing the Enter key. This triggers the widget to open a webpage in the user's default browser, revealing a slideshow with multiple pictures that match the specified tag.
