This still works in Firefox as well.

I use Bing... MUCH better than Google IMHO
I use Googles Image search all the time and usually start by specifying 2meg files
and then working my way down. It seems they have gutted that option to "large, medium, small"
Are there any other image search sites worth using?
Its still there, just hidden in a menu. While doing an image search, select TOOLS > SIZE > LARGER THAN > And scroll to the size you need.
Whoops. Looks like The Vector Doctor beat me to it.

Yeah, that's what I'm used to but now I'm getting this today for some reason:

Are you running any plugins/extensions etc on your browser that could be "gumming" things up for you?
That's strange, are you signed into a google account? Could be something in your settings or maybe clear your cookies.
You could use https://www.google.ca/advanced_image_search for the time being.

Yep, Thanks! I disabled all extensions and cleared cookies & now it's fixed, so it was one or both of these.
I did this too, nice tip, that should speed searching up.
I'll have to start checking out Bing again. Quit using it a few years ago after Google started filtering out the porn automatically but Bing didn't.
Cougar head can bring up some VASTLY different image results...

I'm having the same issue – only 4 size options (Any size, Large, Medium, Icon). Clearing cookies and logging out doesn't fix it.
Google probably decided there were too many options and they wanted to simplify it. Most likely you're all going to have the same issue soon. When Google makes changes like this, I think they usually roll it out to a smaller percentage of users first before changing it for everyone.
Anyway, it's only a small annoyance as long as they keep the options in the Advanced Search page. Otherwise I'll have to switch to Bing.

The 2mb+ options are still available under Settings(next to tools)>Advanced search
Could be, I got it to work right after clearing cookies, the next day it reverted back & now nothing fixes it.
Apparently it's happening to lots of people:
