CC Search integration
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.
