Phil Crean Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Today in my search activity report I see the results of a search on tenerife showing 1 of my images amongst 960 viewed, and then a search for Tenerife shows 7 from 480 viewed. Any clues as to why when searched with a small t only 1 of my images shows in 960 viewed images, but when searched with a capital T 7 show out of 480 viewed? I thought that capital letters shouldn't make any difference to keywords/search terms. Am I missing something obvious here? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDP Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Phil, I think you'll find it's got nothing to do with the capital letter but is a result of both a Relevant and Creative search. The capital letter is coincidental, as the search engine isn't case sensitive. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Walker Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have noticed that if you enter a place name without a capital it has a red underline suggesting a spelling error. Change it to a capital and no red underline. I guess this is based on well known place names that are in the alamy dictionary with a capital. Maybe this has some bearing on the results you have beed getting. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Why not do the searches yourself and see what results you get with and without capitals? I think you will find that Ian's explanation is most likely correct. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think your search activity report is saying that a buyer searched for tenerife, and viewed only first 960 images including one of yours. The second search was for Tenerife (perhaps with different criteria) and viewed 460 image including 7 of yours. Sung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Likely to be a "Creative" search followed by a "relevant" search...As far as I am aware capital letters are irrelevant in the searches, and the spellchecker only corrects them because they have a capital letter in the software dictionary for proper names . (Having said that I think in a caption it is good to have place names in capitals or it can look a bit slapdash) Kumar Sriskandan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks guys...Looks like the difference is in the new/relevant/creative search criteria. Don't know why I didn't think of that...More caffeine needed! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
