Try Yandex image search, you'll be surprised how good it is.

Same. Does image search work for you at all?

Just use Yandex Image search. It also has a reverse image functionality and it does not censor as much as Google Images.

Image Search (not just google, try this on yandex.com for instance) does not look for images that match what you query.It returns the images from web pages that are good matches for your query. There's no guarantee that the images on those top results will represent your query.
