Not sure what you are talking about, but it's still available and it still works:

I've just dragged a random image from my desktop and hit "all sizes"
An update on chrome replaced google image search with "Search Image with Google Lens" in some instances

You can switch it back in the settings

> Still in shock that they killed reverse image search
How is this shocking? Google has a very strong track record in killing useful services.

Another alternative: https://tineye.com
Tineye has always been superior to Google reverse image search
(Assuming that's what they were going for, not sure Google really put effort into it)
I vaguely remember there being some legal reason for that? I think something to do with getty images.

That didn’t impact the search tech it impacted the button to search similar under each image result when expanded.
Ruining the tech came years later.

I totally agree with you in that it is now completely useless in comparison to what it was.
But to be fair the accurate version could be used maliciously (for stalking someone, etc). I just don't use that tool at all anymore.
GIS now includes screenshots autogenerated from YT videos. Sometimes helpful but if I wanted to find a video I’d do that.

Google Image Search has been getting regulated out of existence by the EU for the last few years.
Have you tried using TinEye.com for reverse image search?
try Yandex, it's really good

I mentioned it in the post. Extremely impressed with Yandex.

My go-to porn finder.
It used to use the actual image and be able to provide context from where that image was found elsewhere. Now it seems to throw the image at AI and the AI will go "Oh that's a street" then they will just show you streets with similar colors as the image you put in.
Completely useless for trying to locate what movie a screenshot is from, or even similar images because the category searching is too general. Yandex image search completely blows it out of the water by being nothing more than a modern version of 2010 era Google Image Search.
