Description Brion Vibber 2009-03-17 00:18:16 UTC 
A few things I note trying out this special page:

* There's no explanation when you get no matches -- did you misspell something? Did it just break? Did it submit correctly? Who knows!

* It searches for matches in the local image database only, and does not return any results from remote repositories (Commons etc)

* It gets the hash from the local image database only, and cannot search for local duplicates of a given remote file.

I'd recommend this get redone to:
* clarify when the requested file could not be found
* use FileRepo system correctly to query both sources and matches out of all repositories
