How do search engines reverse image search work?

Every search engine has its own algorithm for searching by image, which is built by using a combination of different technologies and methods of graphic analysis. The real algorithm, which google or bing image search or other search engine uses, is a secret and nobody knows how it works for sure.

Main image search methods:

Match by pattern. Algorithms save image edges as vectors and compare vectors coordinates for different images to find similarities. Police use a similar algorithm for fingerprint matching. They compare the vector pattern of fingerprints in their database. Search engines use that method for picture search.
AI analysis. Artificial intelligence understands and analyses the content of the image or photo. It checks what is shown on the image and saves the set of metatags with image descriptions. AI finds other images with similar metatags and compare them to the analyzed image and decide whether they match to photo search.
Bits checksum. Every image is just a combination of bits. So similar image could be found by comparing its checksum to another image checksum. If checksum is equal, then the images are matched.

Comparing images and reverse photo lookup are pretty hard tasks and every search engine has special way to perform the search, so when you want to find the image on the Internet, checking through different search engines could be helpful.
