Hello,

I have configured "ALT text" on "indexing options" as ON (Zoom 5 Pro Version), but Zoom didn't find the keywords from my image alt text. Where is the problem?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Frank

Can you post more details.

What does your HTML code look like. It should look something like this,
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="Pangkor beach in Malaysia">

Can you post the URL to the page that contains the image in question?

What was the search word you are using?

After indexing, did you upload the new set of index files to the server?

Might also be worth checking if this previous forum thread answers your question:

This recent addition to the Help File might also be of help, if you are misunderstanding the usage of the option:
Note that "Link text" and "ALT text for images" only affect the indexing of these elements for the target or destination file. That is, if a text link appears on "pageA.html" to "imageB.jpg", with the link text (or ALT text) "picture of my pets", then these words will be indexed for the file "imageB.jpg", and NOT for "pageA.html".
