CA3LE Posted September 11, 2016 CID Share Posted September 11, 2016 I noticed that we can search for things in Google Images now by dragging a source image into Chrome (from what I can see it only works in Chrome), and dropping it right into the Google images search field. Pretty cool. I tried it with a few images and found stuff quite well playing with it. Until this file. ...I just wanted to test the capability. All I did is take a screenshot of the TestMy.net logo and then dragged it over to the search box. Didn't want to use a known image, it had to be unique. I wanted to see if it was able to truly figure out the image contents or if it was searching based on file pattern similarity. It returns this... (keep in mind, I never typed speedtest.net in any field. Google filled that out itself after the submission.) What the hell made it think speedtest.net?! Total BS. --- Try it yourself.

Sean Posted September 13, 2016 CID Share Posted September 13, 2016 I just tried it on my end and got a totally different result: I tried again with the avatar as tdawnaz suggested and this one gave a better result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 14, 2016 CID Share Posted September 14, 2016 You should really add EXIF data to All of your static web images. Just for this reason if not alone. Get familiar with the command line script 'mogrify', which I believe is part of ImageMagick. Or there is 'PEL' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 14, 2016 CID Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just had a look locally in Debian, a GUI program called 'Inkscape' is very capable of adding what you need, and is available for OSX (installing now) https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just scratching my head as to why it would take that brand new screenshot, that doesn't have EXIF data and isn't known to the internet, and then associate it with speedtest.net.

What are the chances there has been some sharing on that other site, or other such means to get the image association, fairly high is my thought.
