Hi Robert,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. A number of factors could affect your sales, and also the reason your files are not showing up in your search. 

Your sales could be affected by reduced demand for the files you upload.

I suggest you check files on your dashboard to make sure there are no issues such as incorrect keywording, or linked duplicates.

If all is well there could be a case of erroneous indexing, which is the case with a number of files. I am told the engineers are working to assiduously to resolve that issue.

 

To find your files using their Caption, you need to include the caption, or main words or phrase from it as part of your keywording. That will make it easier to find your files using Caption.

You could post on this thread about six of the keywords you use for one of the files of which you cannot find for us to try to locate it on the website.

I hope you found this helpful

Best wishes

JG

Thank you JG
The problem was a mistake on my part , I was doing my search on the
"French" site in English & I should have done them in french or have
changed "region" . If I do this I find them ok . As for declining sales
,who knows Covid ? less demand for my type of image ? more competition ,I
will just have to try harder .
Thanks again for your Time
All the best
Robert
