Searching, enhanced
We've revolutionized the way you search for visuals by allowing you to be more expressive in your searches with longer queries, and returning relevant and compelling visuals. Our guide below will teach you all of the ins and outs of how to get the most out of your search.
Start your search
- Sign in to get started.
- Describe the visuals you need and our enhanced search technology can deliver results for longer and more natural requests. To learn more, see our enhanced search section below.
- Select from photos, videos, vectors, and illustrations to refine your search by visual type.
- Share or save visuals you find in your searches to Boards that you can easily manage.
- Another way to start your search is to use our powerful Search by Image/Video tool to upload a photo and find visually similar visuals.
Use enhanced search to get enhanced results
Uncover more relevant visuals with our enhanced search, which is on by default. Our innovative AI machine learning models allow you to use more descriptive and natural phrasing in your searches. This means you'll get a large number of relevant results for nearly any query, so you can get to the right photo, video, or illustration for your project faster.
Enhanced search goes beyond the limits of traditional keyword matching technology, so a descriptive query like "small red cabin on top of a snowy mountain" returns thousands of results. With enhanced search off, the same query would return almost no results.
In the instances where you're looking for hyper‑specific results, such as a specific animal or plant species, it may be beneficial to toggle enhanced search off by activating "Exact keyword match" in the refine panel or by clicking "Turn off enhanced search" just above your search results.
