00:00.200 --> 00:04.600
We're going to be taking a look at some alternative reverse search engine options.

00:04.610 --> 00:08.810
Now, as you saw before, Google does have a very good reverse image search.

00:08.810 --> 00:11.960
And obviously Google has a huge database.

00:12.590 --> 00:17.540
Now, with that said, even though Google has some great results for image searching it, it's not always

00:17.540 --> 00:17.960
perfect.

00:17.960 --> 00:21.950
And some of these other searches may come up with additional information that Google didn't have.

00:22.610 --> 00:29.390
Or at least if nothing else, if I do a search in Google and I throw the same search in these other

00:29.390 --> 00:32.840
other tools for for a reverse image search.

00:34.040 --> 00:37.070
It can help validate the information that I'm looking for.

00:37.220 --> 00:39.800
And I do find that important.

00:39.800 --> 00:45.650
And also it only takes another minute or two to run versus these other tools and the chance of it finding

00:45.650 --> 00:50.210
something else is is enough of a payoff for me to actually go ahead and do this.

00:50.210 --> 00:52.160
That's why I do recommend this.

00:52.730 --> 00:54.920
So the first one we're going to look at is Bing.

00:54.920 --> 00:58.220
And this is Microsoft's version for a search engine.

00:59.410 --> 01:03.730
So if you go to Bing.com, you'll see these three little icons here.

01:03.730 --> 01:06.640
You can search by voice, you can search for using image.

01:06.640 --> 01:08.200
Or we could do search the web.

01:08.200 --> 01:13.660
So I'm just going to click the icon here and we can either drag and drop an image here or click browse.

01:13.660 --> 01:17.290
We can paste in your image or a URL in here or take a photo.

01:18.130 --> 01:20.350
I'm going to click on the Browse button here.

01:20.770 --> 01:26.260
I'm going to go into my downloads folder and I'm just going to grab one of these images here.

01:28.930 --> 01:29.230
Okay.

01:29.230 --> 01:30.700
And we have this here.

01:30.700 --> 01:33.700
So say we're doing we have a photo.

01:33.700 --> 01:40.270
It's shows up in someone's social media feed and we're trying to determine where that is.

01:40.270 --> 01:44.260
So feeding into Google is going to come up with some results.

01:44.260 --> 01:47.350
I'm putting in a Bing and we can see different results here.

01:47.380 --> 01:50.260
We can see Fortune 500 CEOs salaries.

01:50.680 --> 01:53.980
Apple is no longer the richest company in the world, XO and so on.

01:53.980 --> 01:59.020
So looking at all of these things, we can see that this is actually going to be Apple.

01:59.050 --> 02:02.590
Apple, You know, we see all these different notations here.

02:02.600 --> 02:03.340
We can.

02:03.760 --> 02:09.520
And also the nice thing in here is we can see similar images and we could also see related searches,

02:09.520 --> 02:11.200
which all come up with Apple.

02:12.140 --> 02:16.850
So this is obviously Apple's campus or one of their major buildings.

02:16.850 --> 02:17.720
So.

02:18.580 --> 02:21.800
Again, it's going to operate pretty much just like Google.

02:21.820 --> 02:27.430
But again, we do have an opportunity to potentially find more sources that Google didn't have.

02:27.460 --> 02:33.810
Now, the next one we have here is Yandex, and Yandex is basically operates most of the same way.

02:33.820 --> 02:36.740
We can put images, video, we can do searches.

02:36.760 --> 02:41.800
And this is potentially better for people that are outside the US also.

02:41.800 --> 02:45.460
Or if you're doing an investigation that involves someone outside the US.

02:46.000 --> 02:48.880
Yandex is a pretty good one.

02:49.180 --> 02:55.360
Now, I did hear back from some students that they said the if you run an image search on a person,

02:55.360 --> 02:59.410
Yandex actually had better results than Google did.

02:59.590 --> 03:03.520
So that is pretty interesting and something to take note of.

03:03.550 --> 03:09.970
The other thing to take note of is I believe Yandex is still has servers in Russia.

03:09.970 --> 03:15.430
So depending on what your criteria are, you do want to keep that in mind.

03:16.500 --> 03:18.450
So I'm going to click on images here.

03:21.600 --> 03:21.870
Okay.

03:21.870 --> 03:26.820
And I'm going to click the little camera here, and that way we can either select a file, drag it,

03:26.820 --> 03:28.710
or put the image address in.

03:28.710 --> 03:30.660
So same thing I'm going to click on here.

03:30.660 --> 03:32.550
I'm going to go to my downloads here.

03:32.550 --> 03:34.020
I'm going to grab this.

03:34.830 --> 03:36.870
Well, actually, let's grab this photo.

03:39.280 --> 03:39.810
Okay.

03:39.820 --> 03:43.240
And it doesn't look like it took it.

03:43.240 --> 03:45.700
So we're going to try this again.

03:46.680 --> 03:48.780
And here's our photo.

03:50.010 --> 03:52.890
And we have our results here.

03:52.890 --> 03:57.060
So the picture looks like, you know, I'll tell you what it thinks it looks like.

03:57.060 --> 03:58.890
So it says Mortal Kombat.

03:59.340 --> 03:59.940
Yes.

03:59.940 --> 04:02.070
This is a picture of Scorpion.

04:02.280 --> 04:08.220
And we have the various search search results, similar images for it.

04:08.460 --> 04:11.940
And also we can go sites where the image was displayed.

04:11.940 --> 04:14.340
So, again, did a pretty good job.

04:14.340 --> 04:20.190
It actually found quite a bit of sites on on there for it for the correct one.

04:20.190 --> 04:24.180
And as you see, the first few searches are in Russian.

04:24.180 --> 04:29.400
So again, Yandex is, I believe, a Russian search engine.

04:29.400 --> 04:33.120
So do keep that in mind if that's going to be a problem for you.

04:33.360 --> 04:37.980
Now, the last one we're going to look at is ten Eye and it can be found at ten i.com.

04:38.250 --> 04:44.790
And this one is designed for reverse image searches, as it says up here now.

04:45.870 --> 04:50.640
China used to be really good, but when Google came along and Bing and everyone else, it.

04:51.270 --> 04:55.950
I generally don't have great results with it, but I still do like to throw images in there just in

04:55.950 --> 04:56.190
case.

04:56.190 --> 04:58.440
Again, it finds stuff that other ones didn't.

04:58.440 --> 05:01.560
So I'm going to click on the up arrow here.

05:01.560 --> 05:07.650
We're going to go to our downloads and we're going to put in a photo here.

05:08.770 --> 05:11.710
So let's grab this one here.

05:11.710 --> 05:13.930
And Tinny is going to do the search.

05:16.270 --> 05:18.550
We'll give that a moment to search through.

05:18.700 --> 05:19.850
And here we go.

05:19.870 --> 05:22.300
It found 27 results.

05:22.300 --> 05:25.950
It searched over 43.3 billion images.

05:25.960 --> 05:27.940
And then here's our results.

05:27.940 --> 05:29.320
Here we have Reddit.

05:30.490 --> 05:31.630
Forum threads.

05:31.630 --> 05:36.630
And as we can see, that is the same image and we can see the various places that it did find an image

05:36.630 --> 05:38.380
stack where it came up.

05:38.710 --> 05:44.280
So again, these are alternatives to Google or tools to use in conjunction with Google Images.

05:44.290 --> 05:47.170
And again, they're Bing, Yandex and Tinny.

05:47.260 --> 05:49.510
So I hope you did find this useful.

05:49.540 --> 05:50.700
Thank you for watching.

05:50.710 --> 05:52.000
I'll see you in the next video.
