Stan Pritchard Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It would appear that the search term BHZ no longer works. No results appear when searched for. I wonder why and to what purpose Alamy have made this move. I don't expect a reply from Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Myford Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It still works for me. Perhaps you were searching one of the new "collections" that didn't contain any of the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Make sure you don’t have any filters selected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Last time I looked at BHZ it had been completely debased by several photographers adding it to multiple images, which is totally against the original thinking behind the idea. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Inchi, try restarting your computer and then using BHZ. It works for me. Edited July 26, 2022 by Ed Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more likely to be filters Ed, I haven't tried it but I don't think re-starting your computer will clear those, they're pretty persistent.

Ed Rooney Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 As I said, Harry, it works for me. I just tried it again. I only check the BHZ once in awhile; it's not an obsession. Anyway, I don't know anything about filters. My system is to stumble in the dark until I trip over something useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easier to clear filters than restart the computer but because the side panel is usually hidden it's easy to forget about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I'm an Apple user, so I know nothing about Windows. It's a well known fact that rebooting your computer will fix most glitch problems. And it only takes me a minute. I have (unsuccessfully) looked for info on filters. ??? I will continue the search. My sales have been steady but prices down. Right now, I'm concerned about my low number of zooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 6 minutes ago, Ed Rooney said: I have (unsuccessfully) looked for info on filters On the search results screen you'll see 'Filters' on the left at the top. Click on that and 'Clear all'. That's simple, and it's Mac or PC. Currently the most likely filter that you'll have in place, given that you don't use them, is the one caused by clicking on the blue number under the profile pictures here, it's called 'Same contributor'. That one actually is cleared by going to the main website home page which is why restarting the computer clears it, but so would going to the home page, many others are not as they must be stored in cookies. These can get irritating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The only way BHZ will work the way we expect it to is if people confine themselves to putting it in as a supertag only. I am on page 5 when I do that and can move to page one if I add caption and regular tab. Also, Alamy is doing something that takes into account images that have sold so BHZ only gives a very rough idea of ranking. I find it useful to find how important caption, supertag and tag are in ranking. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not-a-lot in the general scheme of things but I will take all I can get whether it be views, zooms or better still sales. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
