NIH Image Bank

Search

Search index includes image titles, descriptions, other text fields
To search multiple keywords, separate them with spaces; search will retrieve items that have any of the words, ranking higher those with all or most of the words
Plurals and other common variations are automatically included
To search an exact term (no variations) or a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks, e.g. "breast cancer"
To exclude a word from your search, precede it with a hyphen, e.g. -historical
Searches are case-insensitive
To limit your search by date, select years under Date Created above; selecting date limits will exclude images for which the creation date is unknown
"Stopwords" are ignored in a search unless they are quoted (example "near") or part of a quoted phrase (example "research and development"). Stopwords include: ABOUT, ACCUM, AND, BT, BTG, BTI, BTP, FUZZY, HASPATH, INPATH, MINUS, NEAR, NOT, NT, NTG, NTI, NTP, OR, PT, RT, SQE, SYN, TR, TRSYN, TT, WITHIN
