This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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. Yandex has worked best for me
Same, tineye only ever worked for me if I uploaded a picture that was by Reuters or something and therefore on lots of reputable sites. In any other cases it found nothing.
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
Google lens definitely wins for object search though. Not the point of the post, I know, but it's kind of funny how their reverse image search is dogshit but their object recognition is flawless
This sounds like what reverseimagesearch dot org does, but that only has 4 engines linked.
Please please come back when you remember the name of what you’re talking about.
I would search for it myself, but you know, it’s not 2003 to 2022 anymore.
Found it. It's https://www.reverseimagesearch.com/. It doesn't list as many as I thought, just google, Bing, Yandex, and Baidu
Thank you!!
Just that name Tineye. Now I need to find images I have a reason to search.
Does it have connotations? I don’t know them.
Tineye? Yea it's used in Branden Sanderson's Mistbourne books. People have the ability to ingest different metals for different abilities.
People who ingest tin, gain heightened senses. Vision, hearing, touch, etc. They are known as "tineyes".
Cooooool. Thank you.
