Get Advanced Flickr Search Results Quickly with Compfight
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 1:00 AM on March 13, 2008

Ever wish you didn't have to click through two or three pages to do an "Advanced search" at photo sharing site Flickr, and then click around further to find the right size and photo options? Compfight, an AJAX-powered search site utilising Flickr's API, is a super-streamlined interface for finding search terms in either tags or descriptions, choosing between Creative Commons and more traditional licenses, and popping up original sizes or choosing to head to a photo's default photo/comments page. Better still, mouse over a photo with a blue bottom border, and you'll see what size the original is available in. We've seen specialised search tools for Flickr before, but Compfight simply takes Flickr's built-in search tools and puts all the results on one super-thumbnailed page.

Oh, no. It seems to be capable of retrieving photos of Dave McClure.

Not bad. I kinda wish it categorize it by size somehow, but no matter, still better than regular flickr searches.
