Google Officially Adds Creative Commons Search

A few weeks ago OEN reported that Google image search had added the ability to filter search results by Creative Commons license.

The Washington Post and Creative Commons are both reporting that Google has now added it as an option under “Advanced Search.” From Creative Commons’ post:

Remember, Google can only provide search results that its algorithms find tagged with the license you specify; it is your obligation to verify the license of the image you’re using and make sure you’re conforming to its guidelines.
