CC Search to Join WordPress

Catherine Stihler

Creative Commons is thrilled to confirm thatCC Search, the search engine we built for openly licensed content, has found a new home andwill soon be joining WordPress. With its talented team and active community of open source contributors from all around the globe, WordPress is the perfect partner to help keep the project growing and flourishing in the years ahead.

我们的团队仍在敲定细节和时间,当我们接近终点线时,我们将与你们分享最新消息。

每个月大约有30万用户访问CC Search并发现他们可以免费使用、分享和构建的CC授权内容。我们的图片索引总数超过5亿,我们为音频和视频建立的元搜索允许从其他服务中广泛发现这些内容类型。早期所谓的“通往下议院的前门”有着无限的潜力。

As it turns out, the greatest beneficiaries of CC Search thus far have been in the education space. The majority ofCC Search usersidentify as teachers, researchers, students, and librarians, who are studying and creating new materials on a daily basis.

At the CC Global Summit in 2020, we shared early prototypes of audio search integration, with plans for video following closely behind. It is deeply gratifying that this vision for growth will be honored by the team at WordPress, with their publicly stated intentions to expand the service in both depth and breadth.

We are proud of having proven the CC Search concept and launched the product, and excited for it to benefit from the vast technical resources and enthusiastic community at the WordPress project. Please join us in celebrating this excellent match, and stay tuned for more details.
