This is a simple utility to search for images using the Google Images API.
Demonstrates Pinterest-esque layout, hiding navigation bar on scroll, recent searches, and auto-complete.
You are restricted to 64 results without an API key and 1000 results with an API key.
Google seems to be rate limiting the endpoint, so we are delaying auto-complete requests by 0.4 seconds by default to help cull excessive requests
