Yandex Image Search service bot
In short
A three-letter username is the whole point: type it, add a word, send a picture. Handy for quick replies, too thin for any real image work.
About the bot
Telegram used this bot as a showcase when inline mode first launched, so it has been around about as long as the feature itself. It has no interface of its own and works from the message field. Open a conversation with it directly and all you get is a hint on how to use it.
Enter its username followed by what you are after: a sunset, a cat in a box, a city name. A grid of Yandex Images results appears above the keyboard. Tap one and it is sent.
It handles Russian queries noticeably better than many Western search engines do. The flip side is that there are no filters for size, licence or colour, and the first result is sometimes far off the mark. Adding a colour, a place or the word photo to the query usually pulls the results much closer to what you had in mind.
Keep in mind that search results belong to whoever made them. Fine for a joke in a group, not something to drop into a client deck without checking the source.
