Those signed up to Labs and its Search Generative Experience (SGE) can now prompt Google's ubiquitous Search bar to create AI-generated images.

Amazon has unveiled new search features meant to make finding products on mobile easier, all while keeping pace with services like Google and Pinterest.

Brave, a privacy-focused search engine, has incorporated images and videos for the first time but users won't have to worry about being profiled for the pictures they search.

Facial recognition site PimEyes was found to have scraped facial data from Ancestry to bolster its "biometric faceprints" database with the images of dead people who cannot provide consent.

Image search technology is evolving to a point where researchers can gather information on old photos that was previously impossible to attain.

Google today launched new features in Google Images "to help people use images on the web responsibly." The features should benefit photographers, as they help people both identify photos that can be licensed as well as find out how to properly license them.

In big tech's continuing battle against the scourge of so-called "fake news" and manipulated imagery used to trick people online, Google has just added a major update to Google Image search: fact checking.

Google has removed the "View Image" button from its Image Search results that had allowed anyone to quickly download the original image file while bypassing the host webpage. This is a step Google is taking to help protect photographers' copyrights.

You can now research the popularity of what photographers are searching for through the Google Images search engine. Google Trends has expanded to include more "lenses", and one of those is Images.

Despite its uncertain future, Flickr continues to add features, doing their best to remain a relevant part of today's photo sharing landscape. Their latest update adds something called "similarity search", a feature that helps you find visually similar photos without guessing at proper search terms and tags.

In the not-so-distant future, finding the photo you're looking for online may not require you to describe it or know the location or even the photographer... just as long as you can doodle something that looks like it on a scrap of paper.

This strange Raspberry Pi-powered DIY-camera isn't really a camera at all... at least not in the traditional sense. When you press the shutter, instead of showing you the picture you just took, it shows you a similar photo from the Internet instead.

Google is giving iOS users a treat today with the GBoard: a custom keyboard for iOS that builds image and gif searching right into your keyboard. No need to switch apps, copy, switch back, and paste that cool tutorial, PetaPixel link, or inspirational photo into your conversation... no need to leave the convo at all.

Yahoo is rolling out a revamped image search engine today that now includes photo results from its Flickr service. As long as you're signed in, the personalized Flickr results will include your own collection of Flickr photos, photos from people you follow, and other top public photos on the service.

Flickr rolled out a new search engine last week, but one thing it still lacks is a way to search by EXIF data. A new website has launched to fill that hole. Called shutterdial, it's a Flickr search engine that lets you find photos by camera settings such as focal length, aperture, and shutter speed.

In a move that will be popular with many bloggers and, perhaps, less popular with many photographers, Google …

As the saying goes: "better late than never." In a move that puts Bing on par with the likes of Google's and Yahoo's image search engines, Microsoft's search giant has just added licensing refinements to its image searching capabilities as well.

Do a search for "Henri Cartier-Bresson" using Google's image search engine, and the photograph above is one of the results that pops up. Dig a little deeper into the results, and you'll learn that it's a photo by Cartier-Bresson showing French actress Isabelle Huppert.

Problem is, that's all wrong. The woman in the photo isn't Isabelle Huppert, and the photograph wasn't snapped by the father of modern photojournalism.

I'm Google is an interesting Tumblr blog started in 2011 by Baltimore-based artist Dina Kelberman. It's a running blog collage comprising Google Image Search photographs and YouTube videos. Kelberman writes that the content is compiled into a "long stream-of-consciousness": as you scroll down through the seemingly-never-ending flow of imagery, you'll notice that the sections of similar images flow seamlessly from one to another based on form, composition, color, and theme.

Google's Images search engine is a useful tool for photographers in a number of ways. Search for a particular type of assignment or a theme, and you can browse through an ocean of inspiring photographs. Do a reverse search on your own photo, and you can look up whether it has been used without your permission online.

To make your image searching experience even more powerful and friendly, Google has been working on a significant redesign that aims to improve speed and usability.

We're used to Google frequently improving things on its end -- most recently adding pan and zoom to Google+ -- but a constantly improving Yahoo! is a fairly new thing.

After numerous improvements to Flickr and a new Flickr app, Yahoo! has turned its photographic eye on Yahoo! Image Search. From here on out, you'll be able to search all of Flickr's creative commons images straight from Yahoo!

Filmmaker Daniel Mercadante and his team at Everynone created this short film titled "Ball" using hundreds of photographs of spherical objects found through Google Image Search. The images are grouped by themes that beautifully transition from one to another.

While visiting beautiful New York City earlier this year, an Australian photographer named Kiernan traveled to the top of the Empire State Building and snapped a photograph of the cityscape. After returning home, he decided to do a reverse image search on Google just to see what he might find. He was surprised to discover that the top result was a nearly identical photograph that was captured 36 years ago.

General consensus seems to be that a picture is worth a thousand words, in which case Ben West and Felix Heyes' unique take on the dictionary, complete with 21,000 entries, metaphorically contains closer to 21,000,000 words worth of content. That's because their dictionary doesn't hold a single word, only the first Google image search result for every word you might find in your regular Webster's.
