Not so much. There are several online tools that do this. TinEye is one I've 
had luck with. An example search (your avatar) looks like this (will expire 
in a day or two):

Google Images can also do this:

Drag one of the samples, or click the camera icon to upload files or paste 
urls.

TinEye has a firefox plugin which I've used for a while to find originals of 
pictures. There's another plugin that searches about 6 reverse-image sites, 
but I didn't have much luck with it.
