PictureQuest New Search Technology up to 80% Faster

Rewards Creatives With More Accurate Results on Multiple Keyword Search

PEORIA, Ill., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynamic Graphics Group, a leading international source for stock photography, illustration, footage and other design tools, announced today that its PictureQuest ( http://www.picturequest.com/ ) brand, which provides professional royalty- free and rights-managed photography from leading companies around the world, has implemented new search technology which finds images faster and returns more accurate results, without any compromise to speed.

The new full-text search technology at PictureQuest.com allows users to input multiple keyword search strings, such as "man woman walking on beach," without slowing down the rate of returned images. The new Oracle-based search engine, which can also support up to 140 different languages, actually delivers greater and more relevant results on multiple keyword searches an average of 60% to 80% faster.

Most users of search engines type in single keyword search terms and then narrow down the results within subsequent searches. This new search technology for PictureQuest allows users to be more specific upfront, using multi-word searches and getting back relevant results faster -- saving valuable time.

Todd Moore, Director of IT at the Dynamic Graphics Group, noted, "Most people have a difficult time articulating what they are looking for. Search engines tend to be linear in methodology -- yet humans think and feel in complex emotions and concepts. With PictureQuest's new technology, very granular searches will deliver more accurate results without affecting the speed -- which is a huge benefit to our users." Additional functionality, including search of similar sounding keywords, based on this leading technology will be rolled out in the future.
