A reverse image search (also known as a similar image search). Search engines do not recognise images as such, the search works by creating a ‘mathematical map’ of the image used to initiate the search. This 'mathematical map' is based on the lines, shapes and colours contained within the image. Once the ‘mathematical map’ has been created, it is used to search the index for images with a similar ‘mathematical map’. When similar images are located, the search engine asses the written information contained on the page the image sits in. Based on this written information, and the 'mathematical map' it creates a ‘best guess’ as to the search it will carry out. In the case of the examples in this book, it’s best guess’s were: piercing, smiling at funeral, surreal photography and weird old.

Using the same best guess search terms in an ordinary image search can produce very di�erent results than those used in a similar image search. As most images on the internet appear in more than one location, it’s also possible to manipulate the search results, depending on the written content of the page the image appears on.
