cant find any of my accepted images when searching site

[peter_j_warren]

Hi, recently started contributions to Adobe and initially uploaded 25 images. All were accepted and appear in my "portfolio". However, none can be found when searching Adobe Stock.

Have I missed a button or something?

Any help would be appreciated.

do you have an example?   Try this.... each image has a file #.  Does it come up when you search by that file number? 

[peter_j_warren]

Yes the file number works, seems that I cant find it by the title search though, am I missing something? Is there a particular syntax for the search key words?

[toddr21950991]

can you give an example file id so we can take a look?  how many key words / tags did you use to describe it?  if the tags are few and very generic, it's possible your picture is buried past the sea of more popular contributors.

Hi Todd

File # 167840443

Title: HoverFly in flight green out of focus background

Category: Animals

Keywords (16): insect, hoverfly, flying, macro, nature, animal, flower, garden, close-up, grass, closeup, fauna, spring, leaves, bug, yellow

Looked through the search tutorials and cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

What’s odd is that none of the accepted images are coming up in my searches!!

Thanks for your help.

Ok figured it out, just the way the search engine works ….. just need to concatenate the key words and they will appear.

Have to bury the title (which should contain everything that is different about the image right?) in the key words?

Is there a guide to search engine operator or logic syntax e.g. Like, contains, concatenate, not etc?

Best regards

Peter

exactly.  and when there are a lot of similar pics, your new one is likely to be buried.   I searched "hoverfly fauna leaf" and it showed up on the 2nd page:
