I have 900 pictures on adobe stock but I can't find any of them when I search for any of them when I search as buyer.

First: do not tick all topics. Tick only the relevant topics. Some people are following only specific topics, and they will get alarmed by posts that are not concerning them.

Second: post into the right forum. As a contributor, with a contributor question, you should post in Stock Contributors and not in Stock. I will move this to the correct forum.

 

Now to your problem:

  • Go to https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/account and click "see my public profile".
  • If you see your pictures, then they are available for sales.
  • If you don't see your pictures, exchange the "country code" in the URL with something like "ca" for Canada. In some countries, public access to assets are restricted, and they need additional vetting which happens after some downloads, I suppose. In Turkey (tr), to name just this one, I have currently three pictures open for sales of my 600.

What is the reason for this additional vetting and does it take a lot of time?

The reason is probably legal requirements of the local governments. And yes, it will take time, as you need first to generate downloads and then the picture gets vetted. I do not know the exact number of downloads required, however.

 

It is not that important, as I suppose that the biggest market share is in the USA and Europe and may also be Japan and Korea, and they are not restricted.
