Picollator search by faces

This is a search engine that you can supposedly use to find faces. Simply upload a photograph or point to a URL and Picollator will find other images that are a match. Now, my first question here is very basic - why would you want to? If you want pictures of a particular person, do a search for them the image function of your favourite search engine. Or if you want someone with a beard you could search for that as well. If you're interested in faces related to a subject Google is pretty good at that, as are most of the other major engines. While I'm all in favour of alternative engines there are times when I do think 'why?' and this is one of them. (I can see a more extended use of this however if you want to find things that look like other things, such as being able to take a photograph of a monument or wotnot and have an engine look at it, work out what the image is, match it to others and for example tell you where you are.)

This engine just doesn't seem to work however. I tried half a dozen times with images of film stars and got 0 results every time. I therefore have to take issue with their FAQ 'How does Picollator Online work?' Answer 'Do not care. It works.' Actually, I do care, and it doesn't. Anyway, in the FAQ I think I'm approaching an explanation: "There is no system that can define 100% who is the man." The photographs that are best to use are also with less hair across the face (beards are out then), no glasses (I'm failing at every hurdle here!) and so on.

Nice idea but really, it doesn't work. Not even a little. One to give a miss to I think.
