Question

Search does not bring up my photos

Hello all. Out of curiosity, I just tried to do a search on Adobe Stock for one of my photos, but it didn't come up. Then I repeated the search for a few other photos and they didn't show either. In fact, searches on Adobe Stock generally seem to bring very few results. I'd appreciate any ideas why this is happening.

It's all depending on the competition in the range of your search. Now without more information there is not more that can be said. It is, however, critical that your first keywords are chosen wisely.

 

And some keywords bring many results:

Thank you for your reply, Abambo. There's absolutely something weird going on. I tried the same search ("dog") and got only 25,496 results! This doesn't make sense unless more than 3,000,000 dog images have been deleted during the time between your search and mine. I noticed something else; when I clicked the "FILE #" link for one of my photos, I got the message "Page not found. Sorry, that page doesn't exist. Try your search again". I tried the same with three other photos with the same result. It seems I can see my photos on my dashboard, but no one else can and they don't come up on searches.

Another thing I just noticed, my public profile does not show ANY photographs at all!
