There are two reliable tools to use:
If using Google Chrome just right click on an image, or Android just tap and hold the image; and an option to "Search Google for this image" will pop up.
The other is to install an app called TinEye. This can be a plug-in to Firefox for example; and will allow you to perform a similar Reverse Image Search
Be aware though, that some images are genuine but have been ripped off and posted unscrupulously  |

It'll give you the url (Web address) of any other images which are visually the same or similar.
Even if a photo has been cropped or turned B&W, for example, it'll still find them
Maybe a certain Tory MP should have done this  |

It's just the term used
To go back and search elsewhere on the Web for a picture |

Reverse search is only any good if similar images have been processed by the spiders. Alter or manipulate the image enough and it may return a false positive. Well that's my guess anyway
US two prong plugs are a give away  |
