Alternative stock search on eclipse
Don't know whether I'm the only one who tried this, but still want to share. Being overwhelmed by the wrong results eclipse gave me (yes, I used minus), I was thinking about what else could be used, seems that eclipse doesn't search by deviation title, only by tags, but most stocks doesn't have the tag "stock", so we're having problems.
I decided to try google extended search https://www.google.ru/advanced_search as it can be limited by domain (deviantart.com in our case) What I did:
To explain my logic, in field "exact word" I put the title I suppose the deviation might have, but "stock" I put in another section, because it might be or not, and very likely in comments for stock image will be the word "stock". In section none of this words I put what I don't need (you can add more later to make your search more precise). The result: https://www.google.ru/search?q=stock+%22chest%22+-photomanipulation+-manip+-model+site%3Adeviantart.com&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiI38Wgzv7pAhUVvyoKHR1dAgoQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=stock+%22chest%22+-photomanipulation+-manip+-model+site%3Adeviantart.com&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQA1DrkQFYnboBYOy-AWgAcAB4AIABLogB1gKSAQE5mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWc&sclient=img&ei=Q67kXsixLpX-qgGduolQ&bih=962&biw=2048
Eclipse search with same keywords: https://www.deviantart.com/search/deviations?order=popular-all-time&q=chest%20stock%20-photomanipulation%20-manip%20-model (And yes, I've searched for chest as box, not part of anatomy) Still testing, it's not perfect, but google search seems to be more precise. Please tell what you think.
Where are group journals now?
I'm not even sure anyone will read this, I'm so messed up with eclipse journals navigation system, I've enjoyed so much weekly journals from groups I've watched and in old da was a journal with current contests (I have the link saved, but it says that page no longer exists), is there any new journal? It helped me a lot when I had no inspiration. This forced eclipse usage is like a knife in a back in these uneasy times. I'm trying my best to get used to eclipse, and I can't say that everything is bad, but I no longer feel like a part of the community, eclipse feels like such a lonely place.
P.S. And please, share with me any stock search lifehacks you know.
Stay safe,
L.S.
Feature time!

Thanks for B-Day wishes + news
Now some news, if you wondered where I have been, why no activity anywhere - in November I decided to buy a new PC and all that mess with it, my old one was in such pitiful condition, that buying a new one was easier
The new PC is fine, but new display ... argh ... I regret so much now I decided to take 27" 2k one, my main work is in illustrator, and a lot of panels need to be open at the same time for comfort work - and yes, it is perfect for editorial work, but I can't do art with this display - I don't see anything in dark areas, I tried different settings, waited some time thought it's matter of habit, but still the same. I can't say the display is bad - true 8 bit IPS, but actually I much more comfortable with cheap display at work (6 bit full HD), it is also IPS, but no problem like this 
I thought of buying second display, but don't have place for it 
So, have no idea when I'll be active again, it's just killing me, I'm actually depressed because of all this situation
