Images should be labeled according to what they actually show. A manufacturer example, fictional design and completed client project are different forms of evidence. On a website search results, pay particular attention to result titles and snippets.
What this website search results needs to accomplish
Help a visitor distinguish useful matches and recover from an empty search. The relevant information includes search query, result titles, snippets, result count and reset action.
An empty screen can be a broken filter or a valid empty result. The interface should explain the difference and provide a useful recovery action.
Run the specific check
Inventory the prominent imagery, its permissions and captions. Identify where the surrounding copy implies real work or business outcomes that the image alone cannot establish.
- Begin with result titles. Record the current value or behavior and identify its approved source.
- Compare snippets with the page's purpose: help a visitor distinguish useful matches and recover from an empty search.
- Search a phrase that matches a later article, use a restrictive combination that returns no results, then reset and open a relevant result.
- Apply the image provenance check to this route, keeping a direct arrival separate from a visit with saved context.
Choose the repair and its completion condition
Use truthful labels and approved attribution, and protect private customer information. Keep useful visual context without presenting a demo as a completed client result.
Retest result titles and the route described above after publication. Keep any untested private system outside the completion claim. A pass on this task does not automatically verify the other responsibilities of a website search results.
