I have bought the CD that was shipped by Deneba Systems for CANVAS 3.5.3 on the
Macintosh. The CD contains some 10000 clip-art images in Canvas format. The
search program works by entering a keyword and I routinely get more than 30
hits. The thumbnail images look very reasonable and it allows easy searching.
Don't know what you mean with your question? I am happy with the Canvas
text-based search engine.
