Search
The Search functionality allows you, your clients and potential buyers to search your images and find the metadata you input. On the Store Front page you and your clients are also able to filter images by Content Types, License Types and Upload Date Range.
General search searches the Description, Keywords and Content Name fields. The following search rules apply:
BOOLEAN OPERATOR AND: More complex searches can be constructed using the Boolean operator AND, i.e. search for vacation and Hawaii would return all content that has both keywords in them.
BOOLEAN OPERATOR OR: More complex searches can be constructed using theBoolean operators OR - finds all content that has at least one of the 2 keywords in them.
Please note:
AND operator has a higher precedence than OR. For example, tire handlebar or reflector is evaluated as (tire and handlebar) or reflector. Also, & and | operators can be used in place of AND and OR operators.
OPERATOR - : Adding a minus sign (-) in front of a keyword will exclude this word from searches, i.e. search for vacation -hawaii would return all content that has the keyword vacation or any of its forms (vacations etc), but not the Hawaii keyword.
Please note:
NOT is not an operator and cannot be used instead of the - operator.
OPERATOR + : Adding a plus sign (+) in front of a keyword will find all content with the specific keyword, but not any other forms of the word, i.e. +vacation would return all content with keyword vacation, but not vacations etc.
SEARCHING FOR AN EXACT PHRASE: Use quotes to execute an exact search, i.e. "vacation Hawaii" will find all content that have a compound keyword "vacation Hawaii".
WILDCARD SEARCHES ALLOW FOR PARTIAL SEARCHES: Adding an asterisk (*) to the end of a search term can be used for partial searches, including searches for content names, i.e. searching for vac* will return all content that has at least 1 keyword that starts with "vac" (vacation, vacuum cleaner, etc).
More advanced operators:
Operator: ~vacation Result: Finds all content that has a keyword vacation or any of its synonyms. Plural forms are not being checked.
Operator: <orange fruit> Result: Find oranges that are closely related to keyword fruit, kind of like a pseudo-composite keyword functionality.
