I guess what I learned from this is google image search doesn’t use the same technology as google photos search. Photos is absolutely capable of “dog on a beach at night” and many terrifying things like finding people standing in front of small photographs of helicopters when I search for “helicopters”.

ETA: and the result from google photo search for “boy playing with toy helicopter” are perfect while that search on this new tool produces essentially random images: a lizard, a fishing pole, etc. I’m not sure the art of machine image segmentation and classification has been advanced here.
