What happens to images I use in image search?
Google allows you to search by image. I inserted some pictures to see if they were used on any sites. However, now I start to wonder.. what is going to happen to the pictures now I uploaded them to google image search? Will google keep them?

Google Groups"When you search using an image, any images or URLs that you upload will be stored by Google. Google only uses these images and URLs to make our products and services better."googleusercontent.com is where Google stores the images you upload.Google doesn't share the resultant URL — it is not indexed by Google to be made public through search results.Strictly speaking, it is publicly visible on the web — anyone who knows the URL can view the image.
How does reverse image search work?
It is not like the movies. You can NOT just jsow a computer an image and ask it to search for it. Differnet resolution in the images, slightly different angles of image, a minor edit by whoever posted it, or any other slight chang eis enough to make a computer treat the identical image as different. And you are NOT comparing one image with a database of known images. Yiu are trying to compare with images form all over the Internet. To do that at the resolution and processor load of serious security services systems would take about a year. Grow up.
What is the best reverse image search engine?
Tineye has the best algorithm but Google Images has the largest database and an extra feature or two. Using the URL of a picture of the Eiffel tower as input, Google [1] and Tineye [2] both manage to match it to other pictures of the same tower. So Tineye easily match the industry standard on this task. A competitor like revImage.net fail completely on this task, even when being told that it's a monument.When asked to find pictures similar to the Statoil company logo, Tineye [3] does a great job, even finding the logo in pictures taken outside and inside company buildings. Google on the other hand, here relies too much on their text-search capability. Preparing the image search results, [4] the Google algorithm first guess on a relevant search term ('statoil new logo' in this case) and adjust the image search accordingly. The search term is spot on, but by including news reports with this phrase, the algorithm also inadvertently includes pictures of the old logo. Further down in the list, you get many unrelated images which were probably sidebars and advertisement on the newspaper's web page. The old logo, if it's relevant, was therefore probably a lucky shot. Tineye is therefore the preferred tool if one want to find more of what's actually in the picture at hand and with a minimum amount of noise, but the big database of google can help find copies of rarer pictures. Google Images can also excel at serendipitous results if you change the suggested search term. Working with the Eiffel tower image but replacing the search term with 'Norway' brings up a picture of the Monolith in Vigelandsparken in Oslo. (Shown below) They are both monuments, with a similar hue and both towering against a blue sky. Also note the stave church, which matches the triangular shape of the Eiffel tower. Reverse image search is also available in other flavours, like SnapTell and Flow, which let you snap a picture of a book, CD or other products with your cellphone and immediately get ratings and links to websites where you can buy the product. [5] I don't know how well these work in practice. Services like layar and wikitude [6,7] try to extend this concept to augmented reality, again through the lens of a cellphone.[1] https://www.google.no/search?tbs...[2] http://www.tineye.com/search/e6a...[3] http://www.tineye.com/search/0a9...[4] https://www.google.no/search?hl=...[5] http://alternativeto.net/softwar...[6] http://layar.com/[7] http://www.wikitude.com/en15-awe...
What can you do with reverse image search?
The most interesting way I've seen it applied is for online dating. The show Catfish does this frequently. If you're an overweight dude living in a basement and you get a random friend request from a bombshell, texting that she want's to meet up, use reverse image search.After Reverse Image Search, it's often discovered that that bombshell messaging you has just stolen a picture from the internet and used it as their own profile picture. This is a good indicator that the hot person on the other end of a burgeoning online relationship is really a 83 year old man. :)

Does google filter out illegal images from their image search?
A while ago i looked up porn in the google search and went to images and scrolled down a bit and the girls i saw in two of the images looked like they were young so i instantly exited and felt like throwing up but i thought that google filtered their searches on their page so i'm thinking that they most likely just looked young but were actually above 18 but its been weighing down on my conscious lately because if that wasn't the case and they were under age then that just makes me feel sick to my stomach (note im only 14 years old) so please tell me is it possible that it was CP that I saw? Is it normal to feel guilty even though it was an accident? How can I stop feeling guilty, ever since that happened I've been a better person I started reading the bible and started being more giving and stuff like that, but it's still been making me feel extremely sad, guilty, and sick to my stomach.
