TinEye versus Google Image Search

I know that we have discussed using these tools but of late, I have found that TinEye just does not find much - while google image search works very well.

Any other observations?

I've not found either to be very good but together they give you some confidence.

TinEye seems to be a bit more erratic, Google seems to be fairly consistent. That is, if Google finds images, TinEye might not, but not so much vice-versa.

As JB noted, both should be employed for the widest results.
