Graphic Google search, or "Zaporozhets" is also a machine
After Google announced the new option “Search by Images,” my joy knew no bounds. How many times, trying to identify a particular landmark in the photo, I regretted that it is impossible to simply transfer it “into the arms” of the Internet, which, scanning millions of images, will determine in a few seconds, xy from xy and wat from uth. Now, it seemed, thanks to the almighty Google dreams are beginning to come true. But it was not there…
First, among the browsers, no one except Chrom was aware of the new opportunity. Moreover, it was not immediately possible to get access to the new service. Chrome periodically refused to “see” it, it wasn’t always possible to get directly from the Google menu, and it was necessary to score with pens in the address bar of images.google.com (although, I’m sure, all these bugs will be quickly fixed, if not already fixed).
I decided to try out the innovation on a photo of one exotic tree , captured on the coast of Spain. At one time, I unsuccessfully shoveled the entire network, trying to determine what species this tree belongs to. Relying on Google's new features, I pulled the photo into its search box. The results, to put it mildly, disappointed me. As similar representatives of the tropical flora, Google offered me representatives of the automotive industry completely different from my tree. And despite the fact that in the photo, where the intersection is partially visible, there is not a single car!

"Okay, car enthusiast ... Get it!" - I thought, throwing into Google a photo of a beaten, but quite recognizable, front Zaporozhets. No wonder, the search engine gave me in the results of any brand of car, except for the actual "Zaporozhets". Mostly very flattered by the latter.
Then I had to significantly ease Google’s task and offer him something that “it’s impossible not to know at all!”. Finally, the results could be called satisfactory. In addition to the really similar to the original images, Google also issued traditional text links that correspond (most likely) to a graphic request. At this experiment, it was decided to complete in order to preserve in their eyes the reputation of a favorite search engine.
Conclusion: only well-known images that are not endowed with special creativity make sense to “feed” a new search. Also, with a bang, the images already posted on the network are “recognized”, which is useful if you need a better quality (higher resolution) image. For the rest, dreams remain dreams. And the trees are still described by the immortal Kramarovsky “In!”.
