SauceNAO Porn Search Engine Review

I honestly wondered what "NAO" meant on "SauceNAO" since the letters are capitalized. Good thing there's an About page on this website that includes an explanation about what it means. Apparently, it's just a slang form of "now". It's capitalized because it sounds like users are shouting "Sauce NOW!" Actually, that's what this site is for. It's for porn image fans who want the most efficient way to search for the source of their newest favorite porn photo. With the internet constantly improving thanks to website creators, you no longer have to hope that someone on a forum will answer your questions and get the right answers related to sources for images. That online tool is called a reverse image search engine. SauceNAO has been indexing images from various sources since October 2008 but it has only started gaining more attention recently. Anyway, the About page on the site can only tell you so much about its indexes, how to use them, and whether you'll find this site's service useful or not. Of course, that's what this review is for. This review will tell you everything you need to know about the site and how to use its massive index system to search for the sources of images you like and even get suggestions for similar photos.

Hentai Image Boards And More

SauceNAO has been indexing billions of images from image boards and other kinds of web services. It's not only for hentai art but also lots of other kinds of images. You can use this site to find the source of an innocent anime photo or a devilish hentai image. If you're wondering how come this database has over a billion images, SauceNAO serves as a massive index for multiple indexes including DoujinshiDB, Pixiv, Danbooru, ShutterStock, Fakku, Sankaku Channel, DeviantArt, MangaDex, Twitter, Kemono, and more. By the way, I'd have to warn you to use this site alone even at a time you just need it to look for the source of a completely SFW photo. You'll be glad that I warned you because you would probably hate anyone else to see the shit you might find on this site that isn't limited to fucking scenes but also weird fetish crap. It happens because what this site does is match an image to similar images that can be found on the indexes of the image boards, content platforms, and photo hosts linked to this site. In short, SauceNAO can't guarantee its users that they'll be able to find the actual sources of the images despite having billions of pictures on its index. On that note, if you don't mind not getting your characters or personalities named or knowing which movies, anime series, or TV shows they're from but you'd rather see more versions of a certain picture, this site makes that search possible. For instance, I pasted the link to a picture of Daenerys Targaryen that I found somewhere online. It was a completely innocent shot despite how fucking hot she is. Still, a simple picture can turn into a pretty wild scene when you let this site search for photos that match yours - like a gag scene or something for guys with feet fetish.

A Reverse Image Search Engine For A Billion Images

You'll eventually have to agree with me that it's not that easy and efficient to depend on SauceNAO to search for the sources of a lot of different kinds of images. So, how does this website work? It won't take long to tell you how to search for fuck on this site. It's fucking easy. However, using this site to search for the real source of an image. In a lot of cases, you'll need more time to check out the matches. For popular characters, especially those who get a lot of sexually explicit parodies, you'll pretty much likely need to work on more links. Anyway, you'll understand better how things work on this site when we discuss how to make searches using its main tool so let's continue on that topic. You don't need to upload an image file on SauceNAO to see where the fuck it came from. You just have to copy its link address, paste it on the search box on the SauceNAO homepage, and hit "search". You can also filter your searches by checking the Safe-ish Search tick box for SFW browsing (although there still might be some that can pass through the filter) and Auto to start searching as soon as a file has been selected. You can also choose which databases to look into. You can choose as many as you want or just search in all 38 DBs. Heck, this site makes it easy for Twitter users to look for similar posts on the platform to the content they liked without racking their brains for suitable tags.

SauceNAO additional tools for web browsers. You can download the extensions using the links on the Tools page on the website. You can find the shortcut link to the page on the footer of the homepage. The browser extensions are currently available only on Chrome and Firefox. Still, it's not that bad since those are the top 2 browsers among desktop users - except for Mac OS users.

Rating SauceNAO's Sauciness

I tried using this reverse image search engine using different kinds of images featuring a hentai babe, an anime girl, an actress from a TV series, and a game character to see what kinds of information I could get from my searches using links with various formats - those that include titles or names related to the characters in the pictures, and those that have nothing to give about the content. I got results for most of my searches but there was one image I used that didn't yield any relevant results. I'm guessing that despite the number of web services that connect this site to billions of images on the internet, we can't expect each of those web services to have users sharing every single image that exists. Still, having a tool like this that you can use whether you're using Firefox or Chrome is an advantage over having to scour your brain for words that might get you close to the source you're hoping to find. However, for Android phone users, with Chrome being connected to Google Search, you might not need to use this site anymore. You can use the camera feature to find the source of almost any image on Google Search and get results on your mobile browser.
