Interesting image searcher

Sprixi is a new search engine for public-domain and commercially-usable-creative-commons images. it mostly draws from Flickr and some sort of PD clipart source, so it's not like Google Images, but it has the great advantage that you can use (sometimes with appropriate credit) everything you see. And the interface is very nicely usable: much much better than Google Images.

... but I did just use it and it didn't come up with anything I would use.

A hit, but the "must not modify" of creative commons makes it less useful than my existing clipart library

Brief experimentation suggests that in practice it just works like a thin wrapper for Flickr's advanced image search. As such, not very exciting.
