"Yandex" is used everywhere AFAIK. I (in NZ) have used their search-by-image, which sometimes finds things no other image search seems to be able to.

But also can find by image likeness which allows you to find where an image is coming from. Google images used to do that but now they merely analyse the image and search for what they think is the textual description of the image.

  • Exactly. Tineye is my go-to for searching by image, Yandex and Bing are backups, and Google can often still be convinced to by using "search by image" extensions or the "Find image source" button in Google Lens, but it's more friction so I don't usually bother any more.
