Hi there,

I need to find a resource on the web that allows me to search for
images similar to one I have already. This is not the same as e.g.
Google's image search - which uses the filename, alt text and
surrounding content to return a result, but actually something that
compares the graphical image and returns similar results. An example
was a website called www.diggit.com - but they appear to have gone
bankrupt :-( Ideally i would like to be able to upload my image and
then find similar. Any ideas?

Cheers

Dave

I have not found a web-based image search engine that does what you
describe, but here are a few links that may be of interest to you:

This is a copy of an old Diggit site, which may give you some help in
searching for similar sites.( Found at http://www.archive.org  )
