Was this announced at DT?

In their search, DT images return with a link to them.  However I tried to find some of my images and they don't come up.

Dreamstime.com Photos Now In the Vault on StockVault.net

(BRENTWOOD, Tennessee)--Dreamstime.com, a global community microstock photo agency and distinguished leader in the industry, has linked up with StockVault.net.  Now in the vault--professional quality photo images offered exclusively by Dreamstime.com.

Dreamstime.com will offer high-quality, low-cost stock photography images via its link on StockVault.net.  A platinum microstock agency, Dreamstime.com will make available its entire library of photos as part of the StockVault search engine to offer the best-of-the-best print quality images and photos for commercial use.   This exclusive, innovative agreement will enable Stockvault visitors to search over nearly two million images from more than 30,000 contributors based in 172 countries to find a picture perfect.

I believe Dreamstimes vast collection of professional images is a perfect option and addition for Stockvault visitors that are looking for low-cost, royalty-free material for their professional work, said Stockvault.net founder Bjorgvin Gudmundsson.  Our cooperation will benefit both parties as our visitors will be nearly guaranteed to find the image they are looking for.

Since 2004 StockVault.net (headquartered in Iceland) has catered to the novice designer and/or students, offering FREE high-resolution stock photos, templates and logos to use in personal and/or educational design projects.
 
As we establish partnerships with respected companies such as Stockvault, Dreamstime.com expands its community reach and increases potential revenue for our photographers, said Serban Enache, Dreamstime CEO and co-founder.  Since Dreamstime pays the highest commissions in the stock community, more revenue at higher royalties translates to a greater number of quality images made available to our users.

Dreamstime.com services customers all over the world. With more than 1.8 Million exquisite, new and fresh images available, Dreamstime provides imagery to a wide variety of clients in the creative market from the private sector to Fortune 500 companies (including the worlds largest advertising agencies, magazines, television stations and production companies).

I didn't see any announcement.

It's interesting that the site is splattered with Dreamstime ads - all flashing banners about "Free photos". However, all the images they show in the banner are not free. I recognize images from Yuri Arcurs, Iryna Kurhan, etc. Great images, and good advertising for the site, but not really truth in advertising, IMHO.

The search engine isn't all that great (unless I'm missing something). If you search for mature woman, that appears to be done as mature OR woman and two of the Dreamstime shots that appear are of a man (where there's no woman keyword, i.e. it's not spam). At the very least, even if it is doing an "or" search, you'd think it'd show any images which had both keywords ahead of any that had only one.

Also, if you click on the search link (versus one of the Dreamstime images directly) it takes you to Dreamstime but doesn't do the search for you - which you'd think it should so people could see more than the first strip of results.

Wow. I entered stockvault.com by mistake and this took me to photography.com, which links back to a lot of sites I've never heard of, and our friends Lucky Oliver.
