So does anyone here remember the site that you can search for an image on the internets?→[More:] The context is that we were looking at houses on zillow, and some wanker real estate agent decided to use one of my images of a nearby park to market the house they are selling. They didn't ask me, they just pulled it off flickr without my permission. I haven't been able to find the house that used it since it was my wife that noticed it. I thought maybe the image search thingie would work, but I don't remember it's URL. Help please to spank a wanking real estate agent.

well that last sentence rather confuses me about your intentions

but I think google's "images like" search might work? link

Wow, using Firas google thingie, I found several people that used the same image, but not the dumbass real estate agent. It is nice that people find the image compelling enough to use it on their web sites, but I wish they would ask first. I've had a few people ask to use the image, and I've let them use it freely, and they've given me credit. People using it without asking is complete asshole territory.
