Hello Jim, how unfortunate is to write an article without asking for a comment from the company. You've been asking our PR company for technical details, despite exchanging emails with me just one month ago.
Jim, this feature is new and like any new feature, it may have glitches. Nonetheless, it is not outrageous to not detect watermarked images such as the one you tested. Watermarks are there with a purpose, to avoid the image from being stolen. Image tracking algorithms may be confused by watermarks. However, the search works pretty well for non watermarked images, such as the ones that abound in search engines at high resolution.
I'm glad for your feedback, it helps us to improve this functionality. I just wish you'd be impartial.
Merry Christmas.
