Too many repeats in the Art Library search

Roll20 Mod " The Aaron " seemed to suggest this topic would fit here better, so here goes: Almost any time I go to look for something in the Art Library, I'll get a few results, scroll through those, and then get the same few results over and over, with only intermittent new things. I understand the search is not "all-knowing" and sometimes we have irrelevant things pop up, but can we please get a filter on to tone down the flood of repeats that come up? If I've seen a pic once, and scrolled past it because it wan't what I was looking for, I don't need to see it again and again in that same search. It's very frustrating, especially when I'm trying to run a realtime game and short on time. Thanks. :) *P.S. Sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm still figuring out how to acutally use this site.
I've had problems with that too. It's quite annoying and limits the usefulness of the built in search. Question for you though, when that happens, do you know if the duplicates are coming from different sites?
I have no idea - I though it was all hosted on Roll20 (apologies if I sound like a noob). Perhaps it's time to amend the vendor-applicable EULA to make it not okay to spam their tokens with irrelevant tags.

Voin, possibly I misunderstood what you were referring to. Did you mean this search: There are two distinct sections of returned results. The first section will show items in Roll20 (either your own personal Art Library, or the MarketPlace). The second shows items from searching Google. If the repeats are in that second section, it's not really something that Roll20 has control over.
~deletes stuff just typed~ Ohh... I think I see what you mean... I just realized the repeats are under where it says "from the web"... sorry, that was dumb of me. In that case, my complaint in regards to Roll20 may be unfounded, if indeed, all the repeats are wafting in from elsewhere on the internet. P.S. So is it acceptable on this site to pretty much just use whatever pics we find in a Google image search as tokens in our games? I mean, if it's on the internet anyway, isn't offensive, and no one specifically asked "that's my image, please take it down", then it's fair game, right? I just wanted to make sure, so I don't accidentally use something that gets me kicked off. Like if a player in one of my games wants a specific type of character for their token, and searches google, and finds somethign on DeviantArt or whatever, that's okay for them to use ti here, right?
