Wikimedia search in "Replace shot" returns nothing
Steps:
1. Open a video at Gate B (footage).
2. Click Search on a shot to open "Replace shot".
3. Pick the Wikimedia tab under Images.
4. Search "Herodium" (I also tried VidLift's own suggestion, "Herodium summit palace ruins peristyle").
What happens: "Nothing came back, try other words, or another source."
What I expected: results. Wikimedia Commons has a whole category of Herodium photos (aerial views, the palace ruins, the excavations), and Google returns plenty for the same search.
Why it matters: I make ancient history and archaeology videos, and Wikimedia should be my best free source for real, named sites. It's ranked first in my template's sources. If it quietly returns nothing, the automatic footage search is probably missing it too, which may explain part of my weak and empty shots: 45 empty and 24 weak on a 281-shot video before Fill.
Is the Wikimedia search broken, or is a filter (orientation, size, licence) removing everything?
Mac with an M4 Max, latest VidLift. Happy to send screenshots or a screen recording.
