Hi, if I search for the term 'Business Community' in Adobe stock, I get an overwhelming range of images of individual males. There should be significantly more females. Ideally I should get a sense of community rather than individuals - but if the system has to give me individuals and I didn't specify gender, then both sexes should be represented equally.

The search algorithm is driven by the titles and keywords entered by Stock Contributors. If far more images with men have the keywords "business community", that's what you'll get in the search results. If you search for "business woman" you'll see 19 million results. If you search for "business man", you'll get 23 million results.
