Flickr Searching

Flickr is a great repository for photographs that can be used in digital storytelling projects. I checked tonight and it currently has over 168 million photographs indexed (it was just over 100 million in March)! So, with that in mind, how do you find that proverbial "needle in a haystack?" Flickr has recently improved the search capabilities of the site in a major way by adding Boolean searching, phrase searching, including and excluding terms, as well as several methodologies for reorganizing search returns. The new search capabilities also apply to the Creative Commons pools, which is a decided advantage for storytelling projects. I've created a Flickr search page at Jakesonline that explains it all, as well as a pdf document that contains the same information for downloading.
