I use Google image search a lot to identify images - find one like this.
It seems to have been disabled in the last 24 hours. Anyone else notice this?

Just tried Google image search and it is working at the moment and I did use it several times yesterday. There is another image search you could try called tineye.com. It is available as an extension for Firefox; may be for other browsers too. I get different results for the same image and haven't worked out which is best. May be worth trying.
I have heard things that lead me to believe that Google is suffering a severe lack of talent, as in there are a number of people working there who don't really have the qualifications or knowledge to perform their duties properly. This is just second-hand information, but if one keeps this in mind then the things Google does and the recent problems they've had start to make sense - that big Google outage, the way some Google projects or facilities get disbanded for no apparent reason (maybe the brains behind that project left the company), the shoddy way Google Maps API was changed recently which made a lot of embedded maps break. I would not make it a habit of relying on any Google service (or Facebook etc, any Big Tech, most of which are based down the same road in California), look for alternatives (which might just be far superior, given a chance) and use them.
I haven't used Google search for a while now, instead it's duckduckgo for me. You'll likely get different search results depending on which search facility you use, Google gives you a curated / filtered set of results based on their own political and ideological views.
I don't use Google text search, mainly because I find myself chased by things I searched for three weeks ago. But there is no good alternative to image search yet.Quote:
