You can artifcially increase the size of the search space by
flipping/distorting images, moving them by a single pixel within their
bounding images, colour shifting them etc. All makes it slightly more
difficult to bruteforce by attempting to train the system.

Any good system should be able to cope with a lack of JS enablement IMHO...
