CC Search integration
CC Search at http://search.creativecommons.org provides easy access to several 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.

[hide]Technical implementation no guarantee of inclusion
Typically only the "best" search for a category will be included directly in the http://search.creativecommons.org interface, entirely at the discretion of Creative Commons.
