Flickr is the worlds largest photo community, boasting two billion user tagged photos to date. Acknowledging that user generated tags made for superior photo hunting, our team created a powerful search engine that distills flickr into a massively searchable photo repository. Sporting deceptively simple user interaction methods, the site allows art directors, students, and educators to rapidly comb flickr for relevant content at a clip of 200,000 unique searches per day.
