Google Image Search is deteriorating in certain areas for years. Namely:
* Reverse Image Search (sometimes no matches although image is for sure out there). I wonder if Reverse Image search sometimes broken because of copyright?
* NSFW images (I'm really old enough and I don't need to be protected by Google or anyone else, I think it's a kind of censorship)
* And now also Creative Commons as pointed out by Op
The best alternative (tested them all) is in my opinion
https://yandex.com/images/ https://yandex.com/images/
Chrome extension for reverse image search supporting Yandex

Android app supporting Yandex for Reverse Image Search

P.S.: I know Yandex is based in Russia, I only use it for specific image searches and I'm happy we have a good alternative based outside of USA... I wished there were more in the World.
- Wazako 4y agoIt's amazing how they have destroyed the reverse image search for the last 3/4 years. It's since the switch to ML and the identification of keywords, they don't seem to have image hash search anymore.
- neither_color 4y agoFor image search Bing is actually decent, and doesn't serve you webp.
- therealmarv 4y agoBing is second best after Yandex and better than Google sometimes. But Yandex still outperforms in my subjective view especially on Reverse Image search.
- jeffbee 4y agoHrmm, I tried reverse-searching for the last photo I took - of the USNS John Glenn at the port of Oakland - and both Yandex and Google return similar results, but the Google result returns instantly and Yandex took nearly a minute. What's an example of a search where Yandex does much better?
- visarga 4y agoYandex is the best image search. It even has something better than duplicate search - I believe they do embedding based similarity. It works like lexica.art, a recent diffusion image search engine.
