Art Library Web Search Error

1459719395

Edited 1459719605
The ability to search the web for art assets seems extremely limited compared to what it used to be, that or it is experiencing some sort of bug? I am having two issues that I never had before: 1) If I search for two words, I get "No results found on the web for those keywords.". It doesn't matter what two words I use if I put in certain keywords it seems to be blocked. If I use more than one word and a certain website, for example, "dundjinni gloves", I get nothing. In the past, I would get dozens of results searching for exactly this sort of thing. I can go to that website now and see all of the same things I'm looking for there, it just appears it is blocked somehow in the asset search here? 2) I can search for the most basic of mundane things on the internet that should have thousands if not tens of thousands of results, just "gloves", for example, and I will get fifteen or so results and then it just sticks below those results and says, "Looking on the web....", but it never finds more. Is this a known bug or is this intentional?

There is some information about the image search engine in this thread:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2938900/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2938900/</a> Hope this information helps.
I'm afraid not. All that link details is how to look through sets you have purchased which has nothing to do with searching the web unfortunately.&nbsp; This is a question about the web search function not related to buying art from Roll20 sets.&nbsp;

I just went to Google for an image search, looking for&nbsp; site:dunjinni.com gloves and the first 2 results were actually gloves. They look like washing up gloves to me, bright yellow and bright blue. The next two were a man naked from the waist up, then a laptop computer, then a dead deer on a map, then a dead deer. So at least you know that Dunjinni is being searched by Google.&nbsp; Using my own game and Art Library, selecting Everything, and that search string, it just spins and spins.&nbsp;

The google search results are handled by a 3rd party service, so we don't really have any control what is returned here. We do know that the results are sub-par and are actively searching for a way to improve these results in the future. You can always download the images directly from google and upload them to your table-top manually in the mean time. Sorry for the inconvenience.&nbsp;

Thanks for the reply. I started the massive "download and move over" process last night heh. It works and isn't a huge deal. I just wanted to make sure someone "up there" was aware. The work around is working just fine. :)
