I'll have to play around a bit more with Yandex and see if I can reproduce your experience. <br /><br />I should have mentioned this--I added the term "telephone" because I saw a result with the title "what is this pot doing on the telephone pole?" -- and that made realize that the canister looks just like a cooking pot. (There's even a web page out there that asks "why is this menudo pot mounted on a telephone pole?" https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/bfdhp9/this_menudo_pot_is_mounted_on_a_telephone_poll/ <br /><br />Pretty funny, but it was a useful clue.

If your second query is close to your first query, it makes sense that some of the result might be repeated -- that's not customization, that's stability in the results returned. (Which is, generally speaking, a good thing.)

I find, if I search for something and click on a link, then try variations that are still close, Google will repeat those results ad nauseum. Trying to customize my search for me.NE Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955901099676263044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-81537531284836527142021-03-31T16:05:42.373-07:002021-03-31T16:05:42.373-07:00It was, as always, interesting, fun and full of su...It was, as always, interesting, fun and full of surprises and new stuff to know. <br /><br />About Q1, I tried the Exif Data using the link. I don't know why but with the link, no location is given. I tried using the photo, after reading the answer, and with that, I got the lat and long.<br /><br />Also, when trying the Challenge, with the insulators, though it was an electric pole not telephone. That is why I was surprised when Jon TU mentioned it was wood and it was burned.<br /><br />In Q3, Yandex worked for me perfectly and in seconds. And Google Lens didn't. I love Google Lens and maybe didn't work because the way I downloaded the image or who knows, maybe I needed to look more results. That is why I tried Yandex.<br /><br />In your Method 1, Dr. Russell, why you added telephone after those 4 minutes? I had no idea about what the pot it was.
