Reverse image search engine
Does anyone know of a search engine that allows you to upload an image and then find similar images on the web?

2The title could probably be improved here. "With a twist" could mean anything, how about "Online similar images search engine" or something similar.– Mike McQuaidAug 4 '09 at 12:37

Idée TinEye
"What is TinEye?"
TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology. Given an image to search for, TinEye tells you where and how that image appears all over the web—even if it has been modified.
this is a small showcase of what results you might get when searching :

This article compares several similarity-based image search engines. Only two of them are based on uploading an image:
- http://tineye.com/ (looks for copies of the same image, allowing for some modifications)
- http://labs.ideeinc.com/upload/ (looks for broadly similar images, based mainly on color)
Not possible to upload an image though, but if it's somewhere online, chances are they already indexed it ;-)
