Should we use both, singuar and plural, when key-wording images? I did search with some words and there is a differnce. Huge. For example: buildings vs building. Search result whentyping "Buildings" win by a mille with number of images found and with DL compare to search result "buliding". If you search "apples" vs "apple" , "apple" win. Wouldnt it be more "fair" if you recive same result regardless of singular or plural key-word?

You should put singular when on the picture is only one object (building or apple). If you have more than one you can put plural form with number (five apples).

HI,

Szczepko is right. Also, if you have troubles keywording and with the keywording experience in general, I warmly recommend Ellen Boughn's article with tips and pieces of advice. They are extremely useful. You can find the articles in our blog section by performing a search on "Keywords" http://blog.dreamstime.com/search-tag-keywords
Hope this is helpful and good luck.

Yes, this would be in ideal world. But reality is different. A lot of images have both key-words included: singular and plural.
