Google Image Search Even More Useless Now

[+ Gar1eth]

We've seen over time how it's not as helpful. Today I took a screenshot of what I think is a scammer. I uploaded the picture tonight Dropbox and then loaded the picture onto my Chrome app on my phone. The guy is wearing glasses. The image search coned down on the glasses and only wanted to look for them. I tried to increase the area to the entire head and 'got nothing.'

You can also try using Yandex, the Russian search engine. In my experience, it’s better than Google for reverse image searches, mainly because it isn’t as restricted by privacy limitations.

Do you mean Google Lens or are you still using Google Image Search?

Might I suggest you try some advanced alien technology instead?

As you can see, I try. But it fizzles out against the laughably antiquated Google Image Search algorithm. 😢

Google image search was once the standard, now it is now trash. I find these are more useful:

When it focuses on something, it’s usually because I’m doing a product search—you can always change the area manually if needed.

Lenso is the best, hands down.

Or, if you want to cover more ground, just use a browser extension that searches across multiple engines at once. Makes life way easier! 🕵️‍♂️💻

I'm not familiar with Lenso or how to add extensions to Chrome on my iPhone.
