Search options

To help you find the images which are best convenient for your needs, here are some tricks and tips to optimize your requests by keyword(s) :

The choice of keywords

You can begin by seizing a single keyword. Also try synonyms or words similar to your research objective during your request.

For more precision in the result of your searches, combine 2 or 3 keywords.

Example : a request using the keywords mother and woman will return a research result including all the images using one and/or the two keywords “mother” and woman.

Used language

QuebecStockImages supports English and French. If you wish, it is possible for you to do research by entering French-speaking keywords during your requests.

Example: a request using the keyword chien will return a searching result including all the images using the keywords chien and dog without however showing the keyword chien in the list of the keywords connected to these images.

Article, preposition and punctuation

The search engine for QuebecStockImages works without article (it, them, one, of, of her(it)), nor preposition (in, of, by, for, with, on, without), and without punctuation ("!", "?", ".", ",", ";", ":", etc. ). However, you are free to include them during your searches by chain of text and by adding the symbols " " in the extremities of the expression.

Example : a request using the expression four-leaf clover will return a searching result including all the images using the complete expression "four-leaf clover".
