Latest Google Image Search is AMAZING!

In typical Google fashion, they have released enhancements to their Image search (images.google.com) quietly over the last few days - notably, the ability to search images BY IMAGE rather than just by descriptive words. Here's an example:

1. Pull up Google Image Search (images.google.com) and click on the new camera icon in the search slot.



2. You may enter the address (URL) of a picture from the web, or upload one from your computer.



3. Click the Search button and you will be given search results consisting of both sites and images related to the person, place or thing represented in the image!



In my experimenting, I found that the image search worked better with objects and places than with people, and the more singular and isolated the object in the picture is, the easier it is for Google to match it. Isn't that amazing? What will Google think of next? I can't wait to find out.
