Does Google Image Search Still Work Reliably For You?

I'm almost never on my computer anymore. To use Google Image Search with my iPhone (assuming I can't find the URL of the picture) , I have to take screenshot of the picture. And as Chrome doesn't really have Image Search on its mobile app, I have to upload the picture to Dropbox. Obtain the link from Dropbox. Put that link in the Chrome Mobile Browser to get the picture to show up in my browser window. And then use the Search The Web Function in Chrome.

 

This used to work really well. But probably for at least a year, I don't think I've ever had it match a picture of an escort. :mad:

I have a Chromebook. And I get updates from time-to-time and they never tell you what the update is before you accept it. I used to be able to save a picture in any folder I wanted but now there is a special picture folder where they all go. I can't organize new pictures I would want to save.

I use an iOS app called Reversee which works great. There’s a free version and paid pro version.

 

It uses multiple search engines and has an extension that allows you to launch it directly from some other apps.

 

You can scrape an entire Rentmen profile page in Safari and it pulls every pic; you can then search each one by one.

 

It has some other nifty features like the ability to easily grab a matching Instagram URL, for example, and auto-cropping.

 

Highly recommended.

I have stopped using it simply because every escort I have hired or on my todo list was easy to confirm that they are real.

But yeah, from an IOS device, it is always been a no-no for me, only from a computer.

It used to work for me using the method I described above. But I think I am going to try @Keith30309's suggestion.

Since the recent Facebook privacy scandal Instagram has changed their API. Coincidentally when this happened I have been unable to get any hits with Google reverse image search.

Even when doing a test with my own pictures which I know are online.

 

It seems that Google no longer indexes Instagram pictures (or is unable to).

I seldom even try to use it any more since (a) some websites make it more difficult to search their photos and (b) when I am able to search photos, I almost never get any meaningful search results. What was once a great tool is now worse than it was when it was first launched and men with erections would match photos of people handling brooms.
