Hello:

Approved images are not searchable on Fotolia or Adobe stock. (they are the same). I even searched with the exact title of one of my image, but still no results. Is there a problem with the title.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Hi Pradeepp

Usually within a day approved images are searchable. However to find these images easily you need to include unique tag words that you use to search. This is so because new image starts at the bottom of the search and move up depending on the activity encountered. Frequent views will aid movement, as well as sale. The tag words you use for the above photo are common words, plus there are hundreds of thousands of flowers on the website. Therefore finding your flower will be quite a task.

Only tags are active on Adobe search. You will be able to use title to find your work only if you include it, or principal words or phrase from it as tags..

This is what I suggest you do. Edit the tag of one of your images by adding a unique phrase or word. Save it and wait a few hours or until next day. use the unique tag to search for your image. Let us know the result.

In the mean time I think you will find Create titles and keywords to help content sell useful.

Titles are not indexed, only keywords. So you would nee to repeat important keywords from the title within your keywords.
