Abstract
In recent years, the way in which copyright status is represented in search engines has changed. Most notably, Google removed copyright status from its Image Search and replaced it with interface changes to include commercial licensing information in search results. At the same time, alternative search engines based on Creative Commons or other copyright terms have launched, and some existing alternatives have become more significant. This article steps through some recent changes and lists options in place on each as of Spring 2022 for limiting search results by reuse rights.
