It would be much better to see the sales keywords of ALL images on the site so that metadata could be gleaned from competing images.

There are many links on an image's detail page that can take buyers away, such as the portfolio link of the photographer, the 'similar images' links, etc. -Lee Yep, that’s the small error rate that Serban mentioned, caused by buyers performing a search and then navigating away from it before buying.

Example 1: a red heart on white background created in Photoshop was downloaded with the keywords "valentine gift". First, there is no "gift" keyword in my image. Second, I clicked thru the first 20 pages of the search and couldn't find my image. I then ordered by downloads and again flipped thru the first 20 pages and nothing. Example 2: a camel's head sold with the keywords "sela ward". Not only does my image not include these keywords but they are also nonsensical and a search by them returns nothing.
