A new search engine, Picollator, purports to search for images on the Web that match images you upload. It uses pattern recognition to look for matching visual objects in other images. In this way, it claims, is helps “find photos of people more easily than any existing text-based search system. You can simply upload a photo with people to launch the search process.” OK, I thought, let’s try Hillary Clinton. See below for the results I obtained. Nice pics, but for precision, I’ll take text-based search, thank you.
