Name field showing in some searches?

[Cryptoprocta]

My surname is Leyden, which is a perfectly acceptable alternate spelling for the Dutch city also spelled Leiden.

I understood that the name field did not feature in a general search, yet today when I was idly looking at my Measures since Thursday, I noticed the search LEYDEN for which I had 494 hits.

So I chose one which had been searched and I'm blasted if I can see Leyden anywhere other than the name field.

and just in case you think it was a keywords which isn't shown on the file page, of which there are many, here's a screendump of all my keywords from IM:

Anyone got any ideas? That's going to hit my CTR a serious whack, not to mention p*ssing off potential buyers by showing them irrelevant files.

I have tried to replicate a regular search and also did a a search on AoA. Yes the ones that have been reported here seem to have been recorded in AoA, but no it's not possible to replicate such a search at the moment.

It could be a coincidence however.

Still, if this should pop up again, I strongly suggest contacting Tech.

For now I think we may declare this a glitch.

Sometimes however glitches have allowed us a sneak preview of what's to come.

Thanks. Let's hope it's just a glitch.

So, presumably the page was set to show 100 images and they've looked at the first page, and zoomed one.

Is it worth mentioning to Alamy, in case there is some sort of a 'hack', or indeed, and less dramatically, a bug ?

Huh? Was there a deleted post I missed?

It's me, I'm having two conversations!

This is odd: I clicked on the link you posted. It came up with all the images that appeared in the search, so I clicked on the first one that had the zoom (its a nice image as thumbnail, and I can see why someone would want to zoom). The stage thing is I was taken to my own page where the note 'no images found' came up ...

I didn't expect the links to work, just wanted to illustrate the numbers really. Just adding to the confusion!
