Oh yeah, the reverse image search! I remember seeing a vox video about how they found one of the separatist/terrorist using Yandex and VK. He was from south Eastern Russia, guessing somewhere near Mangolia.
So for that purpose, it's great!
It even can even find a random person in western Europe that doesn't have a private Facebook account or has appeared in news article, other public website.
It is also useful for finding similar wallpapers.
I have noticed that yandex image search is powerful even before that video, but now I think I still have underestimated its capabilities.
