Correct answer RALPH_L

If you did a search by yourself, you would have noticed that  the search for "horse, desert" and "horse in desert" both brought 74,964 results. This leads me to the conclussion that prepositions do not play a big role in searching.

Use that in the title. Keywords should be key-words, not sentences.

That's a phrase, not a keyword. Compound words are discouraged unless they are in normal usage. Imagine how a Buyer would search for an image. They wouldn't type "horse in desert" in the search box. They would type "horse,desert".
Read the Adobe Stock Help pages on keywords for a better understand of when compound words might be useful:

Yes, although I'm finding more frequently that Stock sites in general are detecting redundant keywords, so horse and horse in desert may be considered redundant.  So I've been sticking mostly to single words lately.  So I would put horse and desert separately, but that comes down to personal preference.
