Is there a site where one can search for a photo of a drug?

The old Merck Index used to have them but the online just has a description.

Spouse came home after a surgery and rehab with a list of many drugs, in addition to the ones already at home. The problem is that rehab sent some in blister packages, some I picked at Target/CVS and some were at home. Because all are generics they come in different shapes and markings and colours.

Yesterday we spilled some from the organiser and are now left with a couple that we cannot identify. And it is only Monday..

type in the number that is on the pill. It will identify the drug, genreally have a picture, and tell you what it is used for.
