Recently Google has introduced a new feature in its search engine called Search by Image. This feature, as its name implies, can be used to conduct a search using an image.
This innovative feature produces results that are just “unbeatable”.
How-To
Here is a little How-To for using this feature:
You will notice an interesting thing that the Google has automatically generated a Search Query for the image, isn't it amazing?
Results
One thing is worth-noting in the results page. The search results consists of three parts: The first part shows the results for the query which is automatically generated by Google after examining the image, The second part includes the websites which has Similar images in their content and the third part consists of the images which are Visually Similar.
Flexibility
An interesting feature is that you can drop the image on the Search Bar to get the results.
This Drop may be local, i.e, you select an image from your computer and drop it onto the Search Bar, or it may be local, i.e, you select an image from a website and drop it onto the Search Bar.
My Experience
If I tell you the truth than I am really impressed with the results produced by this innovative feature.
I want to share one of the search I made.
When I searched for this image:
I got the following results page:
