You can then enter the url in the box and search from that, or select a picture from your device (much like the technique when posting an image here at OCC), et voila up comes a list, if examples are found...I use more than one of the searches because different ones often produce totally different (or at least minimally overlapping) results. Hope that helps.

Google products make it even easier. If you use Google Chrome as your browser just right click the image you want and image search is in the menu. On Android long press the image and search is an option. The "visually similar" result list is sometimes nice also.
I rarely use Bing so I don't know which service is better at image search.
