Enable license restrictions as an option in the Web Search API #439

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
A couple of weeks ago, it was announced on the AJAX APIs Blog that license 
restrictions would now be available as an option in the Image Search API. 

I was delighted to read the announcement, but was disappointed to learn 
that 
the same filter options are not available in the Web Search API. If this is 
not something that is currently in development then I would like to bring 
attention to what I feel would be a very useful and valuable feature in the 
Web Search API.

While the most common use case for a license restricted search would be for 
images, there is still a widespread interest for other types of works 
available for others to build upon legally and to share. Not to mention, 
the 
Web Search API has a much larger domain that is capable of returning freely 
licensed results that would otherwise be undiscovered by an Image Search.

Enabling license restrictions in the Web Search API would generate much 
more 
opportunities to developers interested in incorporating open web content 
into 
their applications.

The Web Search API has been deprecated and will not be receiving new features.
