CcSearch at http://search.creativecommons.org (also accessible via Firefox) simply "frames" CC-enabled search engines.

To accomplish this, candidate search engines need to support the following query components in GET URLs:

keyword
restriction to only CC-licensed or PD results
- restriction to only results that permit commercial use
- restriction to only results that permit derivative works

Typically, these will map to four URLs, each with an arbitary keyword parameter.

Example implementations
