Google Copyright Search

November 5th, 2005

Via Google Blogoscoped, you can now filter web pages on Google by license:

  1. Web pages that aren’t filtered by license - the default option. This searches every page in the Google index.
  2. Web pages that allow some forms of re-use - Creative Commons licenses.
  3. 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.
