Irrelevant results in Search on Adobe Stock

When I search Adobe Stock, I get a lot of results that have nothing to do with my search.  It's a real time-waster. I search for [boat race] and the search includes images of motorcycles, bicycles, and airplanes (with no boat in the image).  Is there any support for Boolean searches, e.g., ["boat" race] to force it to find only images with boats, or [boat AND race], to only return results with both terms?

Enter "boat race" in the search box. You can also further refine by typing a  -  (dash) before terms you want to eliminate. I saw a bunch of images from a boat race in Kerala India, so I typed "boat race" -India. You can further refine by using the filter panel, such as Photograps and Exckude AI.

People place a lot of key words hoping their images with be more visible to the buyer. Some may over do it and as a result make things more difficult in the end.

Maybe try a few more specific key words. It might narrow down your search.  Like sail boat race or catamaran boat race and so on.
