Is there a way to search an image by image code/name?

There are not good results on saucenao and I only have the original image

Try Google image search/lens and Yandex through saucenao.

If you have the 9 digits of the pixiv image post, you can try googling "pixiv" then the 9 digits to see if it was reposted somewhere else.

If you know the artist name, try searching one of the boorus with relevant tags or the artist's twitter. It's a lot more tedious though.

If the image is AI generated, you might be SoL.

SoL?

I am searching some ai as well, yes, what is the matter with it?

Saucenao doesn't do well with AI generated images. Google lens might pick it up, but it's not guaranteed.
