Google Image Search is a very good photo search engine. It is NOT automatically filtered to remove potentially offensive content (although you can select filtering on the advanced search page, which the text link leads to). MSN Search formerly used an index provided by Inktomi. Since Yahoo! bought Inktomi, MSN is now using their own search index and software. Their image search produces fewer results than Google or Yahoo! (because they began indexing more recently), but they are catching up rapidly. search help - español Yahoo! Image Search has their own index (acquired when they bought Inktomi a couple years ago), and provides image search for Lycos, and Yahoo! subsidiaries AltaVista and FAST. The Yahoo! form included here with some advanced search options; there are a few more options available if you use the text link. Alta Vista Image Search includes a family filter that is now OFF by default. To search with the filter on, go to Alta Vista's search page. Unfortunately, the AltaVista & FAST search engines (both owned by Yahoo! now), as well as Lycos, now produce results similar or identical to Yahoo's. But the forms do offer some different options. Lycos Multimedia Search unfortunately now produces image results similar or identical to AltaVista, Yahoo, & FAST. However, you can also search for video or audio with this form. The FAST Multimedia Search engine now produces results similar or identical to AltaVista, Yahoo, & Lycos. But the forms do offer some different options. With this FAST form, you can also search for streaming video, MP3s, or news. Dogpile search includes Yahoo! & Singingfish video, mp3, and other multimedia search, Yahoo! & Ditto image search, news search that indexes the first paragraph of stories from 2,300 news websites, and web metasearch that combines Google, Yahoo!, MSN, & AskJeeves results: picsearch Photo Search is excellent at locating highly relevant images, including very few useless images, and eliminating potentially offensive content. With picsearch, the "family filter" is on at all times, and cannot be bypassed. Ditto Photo Search now utilizes the PicSearch index, and thus produces identical results. Try it if the PicSearch form doesn't work for you. Yahoo! News Photo Search searches for Associated Press news photos from 30 days ago up to the current day. search tips Wikipedia: Public Domain Image Resources PhotographicLibraries.com - RefDesk Photo Links - NatHistDay Photo Links - Historical Picture Collections - Photo Galleries of the Great Lakes - |
