New Creative Commons Search from Yahoo!

Yahoo! has released its own Creative Commons Search which looks for Web content which has a Creative Commons license. This lets a user search for content (text, pictures, music, video, etc.) that the creator allows other to use without asking for royalties. The Creative Commons offers several different types of licenses. The new Yahoo! search has limits for "content I can use for commercial purposes" and "content I can modify, adapt, or build upon." While the Creative Commons site has had its own search engine for awhile (and it has been available in Firefox's search box), Yahoo!'s version covers many more sites and finds significantly more content. In addition, the Creative Commons search engine now also has a search box for the Yahoo! Creative Commons Search in addition to its own version. This promises to be a very useful search engine. I just hope Yahoo! adds a file type limit like the Creative Commons one has for audio, image, interactive, text, or video.
