Openverse is an open-source search engine for open content developed as part of the WordPress project. It searches Creative Commons licensed and public domain content from dozens of different sources. The software is licensed under the MIT License. Openverse indexes over 600 million items. In February 2017 Creative Commons announced CC Search, an open source search engine for open content, and released a beta version. A stable version of CC Search appeared in April 2019. In December 2020, after Creative Commons staff changes, CC Search and a few other projects no longer had the necessary staff capacity. CC Search and a few other projects went into maintenance mode, i.e. the services remained available but development was suspended. More information...
