Stock search engine

Can someone from Adobe staff explain to me why your adobe stock search system is so damn stupid? You are a large company, you probably employ thousands of programmers working on your services. And now I enter a phrase in the search engine and get some idiotic results completely unrelated to the search topic. This is just one example out of thousands that I had during 6 years of using adobe stock. It pisses me off a lot.

Very interesting. Search uses keywords. The keywords for this image include care, studio, detail (as well as things like salt, bowl and ocean). My guess is that car matches care. So the search engine is happy, even if we are not. Yes, if we search for care detail studio we get the same hits - mostly cars! This engine could be improved... as a consumer, replacing car with the more popular American word automobile helps.

    I checked shutterstock and depshitphotos and the results are normal. Only you get some idiotic results.
