Did you ever notice the wacky results you get from Google and other search engines, when searching for a photo of a specific person, place or thing?
For instance:
The attached picture is a result from a Google image search for "E-type Jaguar"
What odd/surprising returns have you gotten from Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc?

Google seems to find any web location that has both the character-string you searched for and images and then puts up any images on that site (or at best on the same page of that site) as if they were proper results.
I know children under 10 years old who could see the lunacy of that, so why do the google-eyed google-fettlers not?
Oh, and there was another image-location engine that I was shown once and I hoped for the best, but it was just as bad.
Just testing I found this in a Google Image search for Lea-Francis (and a photo of myself):

I find it hard to go to Google images and find exactly what you are searching for. For instance, I just popped over to look for a picture of a car with the #14 in it somewhere. I found this. :o Couldn't find the #14 though..... ::)

First google image result for an Opel GT is indeed an Opel GT, albeit with a non-stock ride height:

Isn't that one of the three Opel GT's currently in your very own garage, S&M? :hah:

I cannot tell what I was looking for (a bit of research for a puzzle), but google came up with this ::)

While working on a Black Hole puzzle, I Bing'd "8C 2900"
Lookie what I got!
