Whenever I search for images on this website (E.g Doggy underwater) I get loads of unrelated results or just the keyword shows up and it's soooo annoying! Why do websites have generally bad search functions vs google??

W4LK3R 2.0, I have the same problem. I searched for "

mallet" and got a bunch of brush strokes and ink brushes.

Q: What do mallets, brush swatches and beetles have in common?

A: They appear in Adobe Stock search results: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=mallet

Mallets are sometimes referred to as beetles, so that explains the bug connection.

An AI shape-recognition algorithm likely sees the same shape in brush strokes and mallets. Probably the same failure-prone AI that Stock is using to weed out "similar content."

The more we lean on AI, I fear this is the quality of results we can expect. Wake me when it's over.
