    A couple of years ago I found a black and white photo from the late 1800s and wanted to figure out what station it was from. Google was useless and only showed unrelated stations, but surprisingly, Bing found a page with the exact photo on it. It was on one of those shitty scraper pages that just lists thousands and thousands of random photos, but nonetheless I figured out what station it was

      Jesus Christ I guess I’m not misremembering.

      Bing’s reverse image search is essentially dead in 2024 unless you’re uploading the Mona Lisa. It’s really, really terrible and even worse than Google.

      My favorites right now are Tineye, Yandex, and Google, in that order.

        Strange, for me Tineye has not a single time been able to identify ANY of the images I ever tried.

        My last experience with bings reverse image search was in 2022 or so, so no vouches for its quality these days. I’ve had mixed results with tineye, but there was another one which I don’t even remember the name of that generated reverse search links for all the search engines, I think it even listed that Chinese one and a few others I’ve never heard of rather than being its own thing. I had decent luck with that, I found Bing still worked the best but I haven’t tried it since

        Just that name Tineye. Now I need to find images I have a reason to search.

      Neither ever worked for lineart. Photos? Used to be reliable, occasionally bordered psychic, now just dumb. Drawings? Yep, that’s a drawing. Did you need anything else?

    It does seem like the ideology of those inside google went from “tech” , to “I know better than you do”. Not sure it’s fixable really…

      That’s the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating

        Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.

        Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.

        Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.

        They know how to manipulate you to do/buy stuff you weren’t looking for. That’s what makes a profit.

        It has always been this way (also in tech) because those things are the products of companies (main goal: profit, usually under a sneaky slogan), but it is becoming increasingly invasive. Don’t be evil: think different.

        It’s about minimizing the annoyance for the majority of users who will misspell some popular thing.

        Also, I believe that showing actually interesting content is bad for the businesses because it might make the user stop to think and pursue something meaningful instead of continuing to use the product.

        The problem with tech is managers are wearing engineer coats and calling the shots with no true credentials.

        Yeah, tech people nowadays have this attitude with most people, they only show some restraint when they think it’s for other people like them.

    Unrealistic. I usually have to scroll way down in the results to find a link to wikipedia nowadays.

      So true. If I want to know how old a celebrity is, first result is something about their latest work that doesn’t mention age, and then the next 3-4 are usually some ranking articles, “top 10 ceberities you didn’t know were 50,” and then Wikipedia comes in with the answer.

        Honest question: why not? Facebook/Google/Microsoft are up to some disgusting shit, are their Russian counterparts significantly different?

      Yandex reverse image search often works considerably better than Google’s.

      And their translator too. I use it all the time for Latin. Google Translate was made to service Romance and Germanic languages in mind, so it sucks at assigning the right case to Latin, and the word order is often a mess. Yandex was however made with Russian in mind, that is syntactically closer to Latin in those two aspects.

        Oh you too are versed in the language of Romance?

        It’s a little less awful when you’re not on a VPN, but even if it had twice as many captchas, it’s reverse image search is so much better than Google’s and Bing’s how that it’d still be worth it.

        Also consider Tineye.
