Google Copyright Search
November 5th, 2005
Via Google Blogoscoped, you can now filter web pages on Google by license:
- Web pages that aren’t filtered by license - the default option. This searches every page in the Google index.
- Web pages that allow some forms of re-use - Creative Commons licenses.
- Web pages that can be freely modified, adapted or built upon - Pretty much public domain.
Sounds like a fantastic feature. It’d be especially useful with image search; finding public domain or Creative Commons images can be a pain although Yotophoto can do a pretty good job.
Yahoo! launched a Creative Commons search engine earlier this year.
