i suggest you to create an ID(unique) or tags (if you divide the image by category) so when you search back, using that ID to find the image. Everything need to have unique ID for easy finding and prevent showing wrong images

This is not an easy task if the images you match against aren't identical to the one you have in your database.
Your best bet is to find an existing API or framework of some sort as the algorithms to spot similar pictures will get pretty complex. These are also probably going to cost you money.
Wikipedia has an article:

I've not used any of these, so you'll need to research yourself.
