I am perplexed as to why a buyer searching for TEA would be shown a pic of my rose, or SKY a pic of an abstract design-it seems they take ANY old word out of the keywords  which to me doesn't make sense and explains why I have not sold anything on their site.

As far as I know, none of those are implemented, and they've been "planning on" doing so since before I joined years ago.

Why that is still up there is anyone's guess.

I had searches on "Elizabeth May", whoever she may be, yesterday, because my first name is Elizabeth and I have several photos taken in May.

Alamy just posted this in their blog:
The other tweak we've made concerns the pseudonym/photographer name. This is no longer searchable via the main search box. The reason for this is that for those of you who's name contained a search word, eg 'David Bridge', your images would also be returned for a search of "bridge", thus harming your Alamyrank and giving the customer many irrelevant results.

Oh, since Monday. Woot!

I never understood why Alamy doesnt create a portfolio link. What is up with that?

there isn't a profile but there is a portfolio link, have you seen this? (http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography-link-to-alamy.asp)
