Gruffydd Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have just been reviewing Alamy Measures ("Your Images") for yesterday (7th December) and saw that I have an image view from the search Rural family in Bolivia OR Paraguya [sic]. Since I have never been to South America I was a little intrigued. This is the image of mine, taken in Germany, that came up: "Rural" and "family" are amongst my keywords, but not Bolivia or Paraguya. When I search the whole of Alamy using this phrase, mine is the fifth out of 22,145 images, and the results come from all over the world. I think the searcher probably wanted Rural AND family AND (Bolivia OR Paraguya) [26 results], but I cannot actually replicate what Alamy's search engine has done: Rural AND family OR (Bolivia OR Paraguya) returns 1.7 million images (Rural family) OR Bolivia OR Paraguya: 95,000 images (Rural family in) OR Bolivia OR Paraguya: 70,000 images (Rural family) OR (Bolivia AND Paraguya): 46,000 Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks, Gruff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
