Looking for a non-Google-based way to identify things from photos, like the species of a tree I’m looking at or the purpose of an object I’m not familiar with

I've used https://tineye.com/ for several years.

and I'm sure I used it well before any other and near a decade before Google Lense / reverse image search...

I was gonna say that. Memory's fuzzy, but I do remember using TinEye before Google added the reverse image search feature.

For identifying plants and animals, there’s an app called inaturalist. If you have an iPhone, supposedly you can use built-in tools in the photos app to analyze images in the current version of iOS.

From there you can hit tineye, yandex, google, and 🤮bing simultaneously. The order I mentioned those in is the order in which I try them depending on whether I'm getting my results
