I'm quite confused by the technology behind this. I tried searching for "leather wallet," and it said that the term is being established, and currently has no results (while wallet gave me quite a few). Does this mean that you only index pictures after someone typed in the term?

I like the front end, but it seems like the search engine needs some work to find useful pictures.

You are correct. It pulls images on the fly from flickr (more sites to come). Two word searches are not very successful at the moment.

Of course feel free to copy images from "wallet" to "leather wallet". Though you need to register to do this.

Thanks for the feedback.
