The technology works pretty well if you are looking for an exact copy of a pic that might be posted somewhere on the web. But the selection under "visually similar" is abysmal. Post a young blond girl and you get a dark haired octogenarian guy under "similar."

So the technology is not yet good enough to find different pics of the same person. We need to wait.

That's how I do it...
 

This is pretty much the method I use to fulfill requests when I'm bored. I don't use the drag and drop method, though.

1. Find a pic you want more of.
2. (Firefox) right-click the image, and select 'Copy image location'
3. Go to google image search, and click the camera in the search bar.
4. Paste the copied image url, and hit enter.
5. If there are results, click 'All sizes' next to the thumbnail.
6. Magic happens!

As a side note, when searching for 'our' types of pictures, be sure you have safe search turned off. That option is next to the search button on the results page.


I'll illustrate below:

Thanks for the really useful information

When you get to this instruction (below), you should continue to drag -- do NOT let go of the picture -- and then, when I say "continue dragging the image to the search bar" I am referring to the Google Images search engine and not the address bar for your browser. If you're dragging it into the address bar, it will just open the image in the tab.

Here you go. I tried the Google image search thing and came up empty, but I found this the old-fashioned way: memory and then digging around to find this thread again. ;)

is this the one you was looking for?
