Google to its Image Search service, added the ability to filter by usage rights. There can be only images are displayed which are free to reuse, whether or not for commercial lwa le purposes.
Completely new is the search option to the usage rights of an image: the search giant had the option ‘hidden’ in the advanced search options. Google has now however decided to make the search functionality more forward, and this already by default, if file search on Image Search to present.
After entering a search may Image Search example will only show images for which Google believes that this release by third parties may be used. Also, there is a search option in which pictures are shown and legally reusable for commercial purposes. In this process, the search engine looks for the presence of a Creative Commons license.
Despite the ‘new’ search, in Image Search, however, there is still the danger that images are displayed which is copyrighted, for example, because a website, a picture has ‘stolen’. Google is not the first search engine for images with such a filter function: Microsoft introduced last summer, is already a licentiefilter in its search engine Bing.
