Jay said the feature is now "a lot more fresh and comprehensive" and also made "it possible to find similar images when using the site: operator."

To use the similar images feature, search Google Images and mouse over an image. Then click on the similar link. To then restrict it to a site, use site:www.domain.com with this filter option.
