I think google does OK with the syntax it still supports for text queries, but if you switch to the images tab it just thows all of that stuff out the window. I would love to be able to search for "cat eating watermelon" or whatever and only get results with cats eating watermelon, ordered by the proximity of that text to the image returned. Hopefully AI is going to do something for that, but the state of the art, as embodied by the biggest player (Google) is shamefully deficient.
