USING KEYWORDS

When searching for images using keywords, use singular forms of the words whenever possible and use very general terms for maximum search results. Remember, the more specific the terms, the more narrow the results. Human beings enter keywords for images and each individual will describe an image differently. Keeping this in mind, entering a broad range of keywords will deliver the maximum potential results and assist you greatly in finding the image you are looking for.

The following features will further assist you in narrowing your results to the images that you require:

“ALL” – This is the default setting and search results will be limited to images containing all of the keywords entered. This allows you to limit your search to more specific results, but also may preclude some images that do not contain all of the keywords. Using very general terms will produce search results that may assist greatly in finding images that are appropriate for your requirements.

“ANY” – Using this feature allows you to search a number of keywords at once and results will include all images which contain at least one of the keywords entered. This is recommended for broad searches where you are looking for many image ideas and concepts to choose from.

“EXACT PHRASE” – This option limits search results to images that contain an exact phrase of keywords such as an expression or figure of speech, etc. As the keywording of images is somewhat subjective, this option should only be used when there is a very specific image that you are seeking that contains a phrase like “spring cleaning” or “pick of the litter” and it is likely that our staff would have entered this exact phrase to describe an image.

CATEGORY SEARCHES

Use the “category selection” feature to refine your search to only those images that are likely to be found in the specific category chosen. As this feature works in conjunction with the keywords, not entering any keywords will show all images that have been classified into the selected category. As the category selection is designed for advanced searches, entering keywords will produce results that will be limited to images found in this category only. Keywords will be searched only within the selected category of images until the category selection is changed or “Select All Categories” is chosen to search the entire site .

IMPORTANT: When starting a new search, always reset the category to either “Select All Categories” or to the new category in which you wish to search within. If you do not select a new category or go back to “Search All Categories, then your results will continue to be limited to the category selected for the previous search.
