8/23/2023 0 Comments Yandex image![]() Wondering if yandex has decided to go the way of Google, and start limiting the effectiveness of its image-search engine to reduce the burden on its servers. I am seeing a lot of results that appear to be main-stream non-adult content that have no connection to the image I am researching. I am not getting very many exact matches for images that should be widely posted across the www. The facial-recognition & spacial-recognition features appear to be less vigorous than in previous versions. I have run several images through the new image-search engine, and believe that the search results have been significantly watered down This morning, I noticed that the content filter is gone. There used to be a search filter in the upper right corner of the screen that you could set to "Unsecure" in order to obtain search results from all web-sites (including most adult/porn sites, and some that featured material banned at VEF). Not sure what is happening today, but Yandex image-search appears to have lost some of its functionality. Could this a ploy be Yandex to trick people into registering an account with them? Is anyone else encountering this problem? I am beginning to wonder if I will have to trick Yandex image search into functioning at the beginning of each browsing session by uploading an image from my hard-drive in order to break the log-jam (or what ever it is that seems to block the initial "drag & drop" attempt). ![]() It seems like the trick is to never clear the cache, and just piggy-back each new drag & drop search on the last page of search results. I have to do the manual "select" from my hard drive. However, if I clear the original search results and start fresh. I then tried to drag and drop a thumbnail image from a VEF thread. I then used some of the image search "returns" to test the drag & drop feature, and they worked OK. I could not get the drag & drop to work, so I downloaded an image onto my hard drive, and "selected" it manually using the button provided on the Yandex image search screen. When I attempt to drag & drop and image, I got this screen (which I converted to English using Google Translate) It was working fine on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, but when I tried to use it on Wednesday, March 28 the page lay-out had changed, and the "drag & drop" function did not work. just drag and drop any image into the designated slot on the image search screen, and marvel at the resulting finds. I have been using Yandex - Image search for many months, and found it very easy to use.
