Created attachment 14870 [details] Wanted image of which exact name was placed into the search box is fourth in the row I think VE should offer the file I am looking for. E.g. when editing https://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Madžlis_al-Džinn I found out picture: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Descending_into_cave.jpg Which I like to add to the text. Unfortunately when I type it into Add media dialog box this media is situated on the 4th position after media, which are not related to the text itself.
I believe that this request is a duplicate, in that it depends on the results from the search not being perfect. If you type "descending into cave" in the media dialog on en.wiki, and then keep deleting and re-adding the final "e", you'll always get different results. I was more likely to get to File:Descending_into_cave.jpg (and to see it as the first match) when I only typed "descending into". As a temporary, suboptimal workaround, you can immediately find it by copy/pasting File:Descending_into_cave.jpg in the media dialog. It seems to me, testing this with very common words such as "cats", "dog", "house", but also with names (Anna Frank, Katy Perry, Angela Merkel) that as soon as you type those words, you get quite unrelated results. Then if you add something - even just a space - or change them like I did above, then you'll start seeing images which have something to do with the topic you have in mind.

Well it depends, which type of serach VE will use. If the same one, than it is probably a duplicate.
