Membership With Commons Search
Advanced Access
Benefits and Features
YouTube Videos can start within the video
You can start a YouTube video by selecting minutes and seconds within the video. Example: start video at 5 minutes, 10 seconds.
Search by Username or Channel
Some image galleries such as Flickr, YouTube and Twitter can be searched by including a username or channel. By default, these options are turned off. But this benefit will allow you to search by Flickr or Twitter username or YouTube Channel (or other options that similar galleries may provide.)
Number of Searches Greatly Expanded
With default (free) membership, you are limited to only a few searches. With this benefit, you will be able to search with the limits expanded.
Image attribution overlaid (like watermark) on final result
Default results simply show you a (small) image. With member benefits such as this one, you will have a selection of different results to choose from. This benefit will allow you to select an image that has all the Image Attributions overlaid on the image itself, like a watermark. NOT that all image results show this overlay; but you will be able to choose one that does.
Results of Search will not show links to commonsSearch
By default, all images found with commonsSearch show "Image found with CommonsSearch" link in the results, with a link back to commonsSearch. With this benefit, that link is removed.
Remove Watermarks from Image Selections
By default, images on the Select Image page have a commonsSearch watermark. With this benefit, all such watermarks are removed.
Select from a list of Premium Galleries
By default, you can select images from a half-dozen Image Galleries; such as Flickr, Pixabay, Google, Wikemedia, etc. With this benefit, you have the option of selecting images from other Premium galleries. We will be adding more Premium galleries, so you get more access over time.
Select images by Date Range
In most image galleries, you will have the option to choose images by date submitted; for example, two weeks, one month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or more. Some galleries will not have a Date Range; for example, Pixabay and Twitter. These sites do not provide information for selecting by date range.
Select image sizes other than the default size
By default, your images will have 300px width (approx.) With membership, you can choose different resolution images of size 150px, 350px,500px, 640px, and 750px (more will probably be added.)
