Yahoo! Search for Creative Commons

Yahoo! Search for Creative Commons 03/24/2005 04:31 AM

Six months ago we noted that one could use Yahoo! link: searches to find Creative Commons licensed content out of 4.7 million indexed pages that linked to a Creative Commons license at that time.

Last month we mentioned that the Yahoo! search index contained over 10 million pages that link to a Creative Commons license.

Now we're very happy that Yahoo! has built a Creative Commons search interface. As with our own search engine, you can limit results to works you can use commercially or that you can build upon or both.

We've added a box to our search engine's results page that allows you to easily try a similar search at Yahoo! -- try out this search for 'shark'.

For developers, Yahoo! has added a license parameter to their Web Search API.

Read more on the Yahoo! Search blog, where the announcement of Yahoo! Search for Creative Commons features an inspiring guest post from Creative Commons chairperson Lawrence Lessig.

Way to go Yahoo!

(Now close to 14 million pages linking to a CC license.)

This Yahoo! Search service finds content across the Web that has a Creative Commons license. While most stuff you find on the web has a full copyright, this search helps you find content published by authors that want you to share or reuse it, under certain conditions. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Cory Doctorow: 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?

Searching for Creative Commons on Yahoo!

Searching for Creative Commons on Yahoo! 09/17/2004 01:52 PM

In addition to using our new search engine to find great content to build upon and share, you can also do interesting searches using Yahoo!, who currently indexes ~ 4.7 million Creative Commons licensed pages. Yahoo! allows you to constrain searches to pages that link to specific Creative Commons licenses using the "link:URL" function. For example, these are all the Yahoo! results for pages that link to the Attribution-N onCommercial-ShareAlike license. The linkback feature, coupled with a regular text search, can yeild some interesting results:

Here are all the Yahoo! indexed pages that have the word "sunset" on them, and link to the Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license.

Versus the Creative Commons search: Here are all the Creative Commons indexed pages that have images on them, the word "sunset," and I can modify and alter.

The Creative Commons search engine works differently, in that it's able to add another layer of granularity to the search, by reading code embedded into the web page. By reading this code (that comes with every Creative Commons license) it understands what kind of content it's finding (image, video, audio, text, etc.) and searches across different license attributes. It's almost like a huge distributed database across the Web.

Our search engine is one of the first of its kind to demonstrate the Semantic Web, a vision led by Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web.

Creative Commons search 09/05/2004 01:21 PM

Connecting two projects together - teh Creative Commons has put into beta a servcie which uses the open source spider/search engine - named Nutch. I believe Gordon Mohr works on that.

Here's the post from John Batelle.....

Doug Cutting reminds me that his Nutch open source engine is powering a beta version of Creative Commons search. This is a great example of a domain specific search application, in this case, the engine crawls and indexes all CC licensed sites and lets you find stuff by how you might want to use it. As Doug points out, there's no way the Creative Commons could have built an engine like this had it not been for open source. Cool....
