What happened to all the clip art?

Office used to have a great selection of clip art.  I relied on it for teaching and it seems the offerings have seriously shrunk.  I used a series with the keyword 'teen' for my students worksheets and now they are no longer in the menu!  In fact, nothing comes up at all with this keyword anymore.  What's up!?!

If I type teen in WORD I get loads back.

Try the following (I am working in WORD):-

Insert tab / Illustrations group / click on Clip Art and the Clip Art Task Pane should launch on the right hand side.

In the Search for: box type:-

teen

Make sure that Search in: is set to:-

All collections

Make sure that Results should be: is set to:-

All media file types

Hit Go

Now you should get plenty of Clip Art back.

Thanks.

    If I look at that site, it gives instructions for accessing clip art in Office 365/2013. Bing is one of the options, but Office.com clip art is another. In previous versions, Insert | Picture | Clip Art or Insert | Illustrations | Clip Art still works the same way it always did, opening a task pane to search for the images. Yes, most of them are online, and the variety may vary, but they're still there. Searching with Bing or Google Images is often more satisfactory, anyway.

    That doesn't work, even when I check all the boxes for file types and collections.  Microsoft has definitely eliminated dozens of clip art images.

    I see this question is from three years back.  The situation is even worse now, in 2013.  Two and three months both the Office website and my edition of Publisher provided many, many photographic images that are now completely removed from the collection.  I hadn't seen any news on this issue, and it's quite a shock to set about making a greeting card and finding none of the images I used before remain in the collection.
