Search Tips

Quick Search 'Picture Categories'

 The way we handle our Picture groupings is different from what you'll find almost anywhere else, and understanding how to use it effectively can be a real time-saver for you. You can do a Quick Search by clicking on any subject or category listed on the horizontal Responsive Navigation Bar of every page on our website. 

Search Using Keywords or Picture IDs

  • Enter words in either singular or plural form; both forms will be searched.

  • Try typing the "-ing" form of actions (smiling, as opposed to smiling).

  • When you simply enter multiple words, the system will look to match all words.

  • Do not include the number sign (#) with image numbers.

  • Check your misspellings or typos among your keywords.

  • Do not use punctuation marks (eg: commas, hyphens, inverted commas, etc.


Narrow your search results by using Search Within Results

Once you find your initial images, you can refine your keyword search by using the 'Search within results' feature you will see at the top of any image results page. For instance, if you want a picture of a woman using a laptop, you would start by typing 'Woman and laptop' into the search box. If, in your set of results, you find there are too many shots of men and women in groups working at a laptop, select the 'Search within results' option and type '1 person only' and the refined set of results will show images of only one woman using a laptop.

Searching Similar Picture by Selecting Multiple Keywords

No matter how you've arrived at a page of thumbnail picture, you can always click on any thumbnail to bring up the larger version of that picture. This is named the 'Picture Details' page. This version contains all the keywords and categories associated with that picture. Select checkboxes for the desired keywords and search afresh to see the other similar picture in that category.

Searching by Advanced Search Options

In the Advanced search options, we have extended options to narrow down your search in terms of variables like - Orientation, Picture Attributes, and People in an picture.
