Google does not provide a face search feature. Instead, you can use the reverse image search on Google Images. Upload the photo you want to search for, and Google will find visually similar images. However, this method may not specifically find faces. For more accurate facial recognition searches, consider dedicated tools like PimEyes or other facial recognition services.
