unfortunately we don't have insight or influence into what major search engines do. Internally we do take the featured picture template into account when searching.

Hi Discovery,
Do you know if the major search engines consider whether one of our images is a "featured" image (or has passed other quality reviews) when they rank our images in their search results? I suspect that Google does but I don't know with certainty. If they don't, you might suggest to them that they should.
Thanks,
Pine
