How can I reverse engineer Google image search?


Hey all, I have been recently assigned a coding task where I have to create google image search functionality without using apis rather reverse engineer or scrape through google's approach. How should i do the same ? I was able to create a scraper to get images using a query , but stuck with the functionality of uploading images and getting back images which are similar to it .

Type "how does google image search work" into Google search or your favorite LLM. You probably can't implement anything close to it by yourself with a desktop or laptop PC. A significant amount of training data and machine learning code -- and hardware -- sits behind Google image search and similar tools. So you start by learning about machine learning.
