They are not looking for an exact match but they are looking for the same photo.  They claim that even if it has been edited or modified they could find it.  They use the Mona Lisa as an example.  A good explanation is here:

I think they are making direct matches. When they say content I think they
mean if you load a picture of a handbag they don't look for handbags but
only  for your specific image of a handbag. So they are searching for a
pattern that  looks exactly like your pattern (your image). I assume they
are
looking at 0 and  1 but there may be other ways to do this.
    

They're clearly not looking for an exact match.  I suspect it's something
on the order of a much-reduced size and then some kind of "degree of
difference" metric; but it may be something more sophisticated.
