The search engine finds relevant images in the gallery,
based on their title, keywords and other information.
Search targets are treated as individual words — please note that you cannot use double quotes to mark a complete phrase. The case of the words given does not matter, but spelling has to be correct. Punctuation is ignored, so that “anti-lock”, “antilock” and “anti lock" all have the same effect. Common (Western European) accented characters are treated as their plain letter equivalents so that, for example, “pâté” is handled the same as “pate”. All other non-ASCII characters such as the more exotic accented letters and special symbols are ignored. As a special case, a search term consisting of a single year such as “2014”, a range such as “1995-2001” (including open-ended ranges such as “1990-” or “-2010”) or a decade such as “1930s” will ensure that only images from the years specified will be included in the search results, although this can only be given once and any subsequent dates are ignored. Note that these years must be between 1800 and 2099, and that nonsensical ranges such as “2001-1995” will mean that no results are shown. However, if a year or year range is given along with other search items, images that only match the year(s) specified will not be included in the results. For example, a search for “2009” will show all images from that year, but a search for “2009 helicopter” will only show images from 2009 that also match the word “helicopter”; other images from 2009 will not be shown. |
