Title: Irrelevant search results in Fotolia
Post by: jwalker on March 13, 2014, 05:21

I am getting weird search result in Fotolia in the last 24 hours. For example if I make a search for "ship", in the search results order by relevance, I get more than 90% irrelevant stuff like food, cars .. etc.  :o
Do you get the same results or its just me ?

Not just you.. I tried several things - and while Ice Cream and Black Horse bring up some relevant ones, they bring in some not related stuff as well.

(Money? why would 'black horse' bring up money shots? or an Ant?)

I see there is 'black' in the description, so there you go. Quotes around "black horse" is much better for results.

this one for 'ship' though.. bizzar..

Now that is weird. No 'ship' in keywords either. Same goes for an image of 'bacon'  that appears when 'ship' is searched.
