No. But they are different. I myself may search for an image when I don’t have the will or need to create. Or, as a precursor to a creation. It’s the difference between searching an archive or stock photo site vs opening a graphics program. To me, the interesting differentiation is from thinking a search engine being something than indexes information or a product that provides solutions to peoples problems and needs with a single point of entry. (Like why people type URLs into google search) We’ve had search engines return the weather, or calculate a sum, for some time. It seems an obvious evolution for it to create solutions for users given lay users are probably already typing what they want into search.
