It's just a different sort of searching. The picture shows most of what I could have said in written clues:
* German * 2-seater * 2 bay * Late war (notice the Balken cross) * Bomber (notice the attachments on the bottom) * Argus engine
On the last quiz I was able to find the aircraft by recognizing several features, for example, a style of rhino-horn exhaust not seen (to my knowledge) on any British aircraft. That, plus the roundel, made it either French or Italian. (Well, it could have been Russian, but Russian roundels were white in the center.) French seemed more likely from the overall design. So I researched French 2-seaters and then "negative stagger" and eventually (after much searching) found the Dorand.
Also sometimes there's not a lot to be SAID about lesser known types...particularly WWI aircraft.
