Does Plex search for local artwork/posters when creating a collection?

From searching the forums I get that Plex won’t automatically pull collection art from an online source.

But I’m unclear on if it checks locally for that artwork.

The wording of “automatic” here:

Confuses me as to whether or not it does check the folders for an image.

If it can’t/doesn’t, would that be considered a feature request different from [Implemented] Collection posters ?

Since the idea would be you place an image in the movie directory named something like “collection-poster.jpg” or “movieset-poster.jpg” and it scans for it?

Answer seems to be no. Added a recommendation for that here:
