I haven't used the Creative Commons search in a very long time. But I went back to it today based on thsi announcement. I confess that I was afraid it would only list results in CC-by but that doesn't appear to be the main problem. No, rather, it seems to display only a small subset of the available results. As always with search services, IO test using my own name. A search for 'Stephen Downes' yielded six results (pictured). By contrast, the same search on Flickr (which is one of of the sources for CC Search) yields 295 results - including 156 openly licensed photos (not that Flickr is any great shakes - many of the results are of a Babylon 5 convension which has nothing to do with me).
