But in 2025 I have a feeling that this feature is long gone, probably available now to the law enforcement only. At least I don't know any search engines as of today that support it across the internet, while there are plenty tools supporting this kind of search across your photos.
In addition to this I think the picture recognition (not the face recognition, but search of the same picture across the internet) stopped working on Google Images too, recently. Now they have some AI instead that tries to analyze your picture and offer your additional places to buy any goods (especially expensive ones) found by AI in your picture.
My guess the manufacturers of these goods pay Google to have their goods "found" by Google Images.
What I am trying to say "the landscape" of the facial recognition and picture recognition available to the public changed drastically in the recent years. Maybe too late for some people who used to participate in those events.

Correct. I didn't like it to begin with, as I felt it did more harm than good. However like mostly everything else, if you pay you can still get it easily.
