Luckily, there's an alternative: images.yandex.com

It effortlessly does both reverse image search AND image objects search. Results are usually so good, it almost seems like Google decided to cripple their image search on purpose.

The fact that Yandex includes the OCR'd text in any image you search from is awesome.

If there's one party I'd be even less comfortable sharing my data with than Google, it would be a Russian company.
