Google’s “search by image” feature just got a little bit smarter

Google’s “search by image” feature just got a little bit smarter. The search engine can now better detect image subjects and give you lots of new related content. Search by image allows you to upload a photo to Google and use it as a “search term,” as opposed to regular keywords. In the past, Google has been able to detect what is in many photos, but only on a very base level. For instance, if you uploaded a picture of a flower, it would return search results for flowers. But now Google is integrating its Knowledge Graph into “search by image.” Now when you upload that same image, Google will see not just a flower, but a Birds of Paradise flower, and will give you information about its origins.
