Google has had a 'search by image' option for a while now, Clef. TinEye has existed even longer. Unfortunately, neither gives any useful results on this.

Maybe a scan instead of pictureception would help more. You willing?

I remember someone telling me about this but since I never saw the option, I thought it was a dream... Q7Q;;; *goes in her corner of feeling stupid*
How does it even work...? :T

Drag Image to search bar.
They've had it for awhile now.

Well, I meant how does google know what to search. What makes an image look similar to what you're searching?

Don't feel stupid, Cleffles!
I was mystified when I found out that this type of image search was possible. I still believe that witchcraft is responsible (as I attribute everything I don't understand to witchcraftery or magics)!

Google's engines run on ground up unicorn. It's anything but not magical.

To beat up more dreams, you can read if you want to know how the various approaches.
Essentially, Google Reverse Image Search uses computer vision (think OCR if that helps any) to match an image with their collection of images. From there, they generate text descriptors for the image and use those pairings to create a "best match" / "best guess" approach.

A scientist acquaintance said she once explained with a straight face that her lab's chromatograph machine had magical elves inside it doing the analysis. To her boss.
