Previously, you had the option to turn the Creative Commons filter On or Off. Now you can search ‘all’ Creative Commons licensed images, or images for ‘commercial’ use. Compfight is not only a fast way to find flickr images, but with this new feature, no more scrolling to the bottom to see that Non-Commercial icon. Talk about a time saver, thanks Compfight :)

Compfight is a service that allows you to quickly search Flickr and browse hundreds of results instantaneously. There’s also an option to search only the Creative Commons images, saving you a couple clicks compared to Flickr’s own “Advanced Search.” One other thing that makes Compfight useful is the fact that when you roll over each thumbnail, it tells you the pixel dimensions of the ‘original’ size image.
