image search doesn't show image from wikipedia
when searching for 'olm salamander (site:commons.wikimedia.org OR site:wikipedia.org)', filtered on images that can be used and shared commercially, the search results do not return the main image on the 'olm salamander' wikipedia page
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olm
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olm#/media/File:ProteusanguinusPostojnskaJamaSlovenija.jpgwhile searching for 'ProteusanguinusPostojnskaJamaSlovenija (site:commons.wikimedia.org OR site:wikipedia.org)' shows a smaller version of the said image. Image is 800x333, but images on results have with/height < 250.

Thumbnail scaling
It would be nice if the padding color could be specified when resizing thumbnails, including transparent.

Bing Images Search Trending throws error
The trending endpoint: https://dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/56b43f0ccf5ff8098cef3808/operations/56b44b8ccf5ff81038d15ce0
When I test it with the api console shows this:
{
"_type": "ErrorResponse",
"instrumentation": {},
"errors": [{"code": "DataSourceErrors",
"message": "Please note the Data source and the Data source ErrorCode, then, for more information, refer to the HelpUrl.",
"parameter": "Trending data is not present for your request"}]
}If there is a parameter missing, this page doesn't say it.

Image Search API. Add searching for specified site when using SimilarImages / SimilarProducts
Add searching for specified site when using SimilarImages / SimilarProducts. It is already possible to specify the site but it is not taken into account when providing a image to search for similar products.
It could be a great thing to provide this in order to see what products a specific vendor has that match a specific image.
