This is precisely the type of problem Jelly wants to solve: to get the right answer, you have to ask the right question.

Take for example this search for the statue of Anteros, in Piccadilly Circus: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=statue+in+london+with+bow

Conversely, I bet posting a photo to Jelly would get me an answer. And it only becomes more likely that my friends (and their friends) will find an answer easier than I can the more obscure and difficult to search for the subject is.

Search engines are getting much better at interpreting the question you wanted to ask from the question you actually asked - "Did you mean..." - but they still have a way to go before they can do a better job than a human.
