Bug with visual search feature

Hello, the visual search feature appears to be broken on adobe fonts. I have used the feature many times in the past with decent results so I believe it is a new bug.

I have attached some tests to show what is happening. When I upload images it is not able to read the text correctly as it has in the past. The default text is gibberish.

Even after correcting the text, you can see the feature either returned ornaments or fonts that were not at all similar to the original.

The only one that was read correctly was a screenshot from this feedback page, but even so, the search was not able to identify it even though it is Adobe's main typeface.

In the end I was able to find the original font I was looking for (the purple script example) which is Caflisch Script. This font is available on Adobe Fonts so in theory the visual search, working properly, should have been able to identify it.

Thanks

    @Lisa Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. I agree that those results don't look good or even relevant. We've recently made some changes to fix that. The image attached shows the results that I got today, which look a lot more sensible.

    Improve the font detection. I was excited to see the font match with a photo tool and am at a stage where it would be helpful to identify fonts in some inherited projects but surprised at the suggestions it provided. Per the screen capture, it is clearly a sans serif font yet all suggestions were serif and several curly.
