Creative Commons search engine from Yahoo


Yahoo has launched a Creative Commons search engine that lets you do things like search for freely reusable photos of the Empire State Building, or stories licensed for noncommerical reuse, etc. I confess that I use Google for most of my search needs, but this is both brilliant and obvious -- how is it that stodgy old Yahoo beat the tar out of Google on this one?

Update: DeWitt sez, "I added a Creative Commons search as one of the very first columns on A9 during our launch of OpenSearch last week at ETech."

Update 2: Doug sez, "And I wrote the CC-hosted search-engine that A9 scrapes last fall..."
