Absolutely amazing on the tech side!!!

Now, after reading the article, I gave your search engine a try. I was looking for that futurama its a trap meme (pretty much pops up on any image search here https://www.google.com/search?q=futurama+its+a+trap)

The problem is, the search engine you built is now very text-heavy, which seems to be usually very unconnected to the actual meme. So, searching for "its a trap" did not yield the results I was actually hoping for, but made total sense looking at how the search was implemented.

Are you planning to implement an actual tagging of the content of some sorts? Maybe a clustering of similar objects (like iphone clusters similar peoples faces in the gallery) and then tag those clusters with keywords somehow?

Yes I definitely want to improve the search to be better. It is currently very text heavy and I (only recently) got image similarity indexing working. Hoping to leverage this to do something like you mentioned!

I'd also like to figure out how to turn an image into a description of whats in it. My ML/tensorflow knowledge is very weak though, so I still have a lot to learn here.
