    As a customer, when I go hunting for assets, I use plus (+) signs between keywords like this:

    Then, I refine my search with filters on the left side panel.

    Hey ​@Baher Meditation Lover 
    When it comes to keywords: spice them up a bit. Add a bit of salt, pepper, and other spices into the mix. Describe your image in a way a smart and clever 4th or 6th grader would be asking Qs or looking for something.

    Do you think if I put “Sound healing therapy” as one key 
    and the buyer search with “Sound therapy “it will return it? hmm, I do not think so? 
    But If I put 1. sound 2. healing 3. therapy (as three keys) it will return it, right?

    Test it yourself. Go to Stock Photos, Images, Videos & AI Editing Tools | Adobe Stock and try different search term combinations. Keep track of the order and the total number of assets being returned.

    Decide how you think a buyer would search. If you think a buyer would search for a compound word then use it. Personally, I dont think it matters. I just searched for:
    1. kissing,  monkey
    2. kissing monkey
    3. monkey kissing
    All three variations returned 867 assets in the identical order.
    This means, the algorithm ignored the “,” and the keyword order.

    Thanks RALPH_L
    I still try to find the best reach, so I rebuild my keywords (which will take a hill of time )

    Use Google Gemini to do your keywording.
    I have an application to upload my image. Google analyzes it and returns the title and keywords while following the guidelines I stipulate in my prompt.
    I can even edit and update assets that have already been approved.
