IanDavidson Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Yesterday I submitted photos relating to Five companies in The SK:N group ceasing trading. (It is a cosmetic surgery group). However, when I checked this morning the keyword SK:N does not work and breaks the keyword into SK and N. The photos do not show up when using the keyword SK:N. I don’t want to use the keys words skin group as that is another organisation (Your Honour). Any suggestions?

Clients wont be able to search for the SK:N either. Do you know what the LSE ticker symbol is ? You could also use that (?) Also SKN group of course. There are a few key words here (though you've probably used all these). More info here - which sets out the individual companies within the group: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/five-skn-group-companies-in-liquidation-information-for-patients-employees-and-creditors Edited July 19 by BidC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I see your images do come up when searching for 'sk n' as BidC has suggested. Buyers must be just as perplexed, on a (the?) major competitor's site 'SK:N' gets converted to a search for 'SKKN' and of course nothing comes up for 'SK:N' though there is actually a company called 'SKKN'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Harrison Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) As a general rule with Alamy's search punctuation is ignored so 'SK:N' just becomes SKN and you just get images of the airline, and quotes don't override that as you've found. I don't think Alamy can have anticipated anyone using a ':' as a normal letter, Google is OK with it of course but I suspect their search engine learns as it goes along.

Forget using SKN. Plus there doesn't seem to be a ticker code (for the stock exchanges) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will search SK:N which will give them SKN images. So, IMO, keyword all SK:N images SKN plus whatever to distinguish them from ~1798 unrelated SKN images already on Alamy...
