Advanced Flickr search efficient, effective

Posted by Jacque on March 12th, 2008

compfight.pngI find myself seaching the millions of Flickr photos and images frequently, usually for those with Creative Commons licenses, so I was very happy to hear about Compfight search, and to discover it works as advertised.

From the AJAX-powered search site, a streamlined interface allows you to search using tags or descriptions and limit to Creative Commons or traditional licenses.  Results not only bring up thumbnails of the photos, but those with a blue bottom border will also tell you the size of the original photo if you mouse over them.  Super!
