Commercial Free Images, Photos & Textures

Photography

We do often purchase stock photos from professionals at a variety of sites, such as Big Stock though often you can find some great free goodies out there. For Photos the best Commercial Free place to look is Flickr, though you can’t just go there and start looking or it will be impossible to sort through everything that is commercial free and not commercial free. The trick is to utilize the Flickr: Advanced Search option. When on that page navigate to the bottom and locate the “Creative Commons” section and check all the boxes that apply (I usually select them all).

Note that you should still always check the conditions of the photo used as they can have requirements, such as photographer recognition, and they can vary from photo to photo throughout the photographers flickr page.

Textures / Patterns

There are actually quite a lot of websites out there that offer free textures or patterns and also a good amount of sites that sell them. However, I am going to highlight one that is perhaps the most popular out of them and provides a great inventory that can be used for nearly any website – Subtle Patterns.

Live Search 2

  • Posted On

Live Search 2 has been updated with new features, improvements, and important bug fixes – all designed to make your site’s search experience even faster and more precise.

This update is free and automatic for all existing customers.

Don’t own it yet? Now’s the perfect time to jump in — Live Search 2 is 30% off for a limited time! No code needed — your discount is automatically applied at checkout.

New Features:

  • Added support for exact match searches using quotation marks around parts of a search phrase.
  • New option to show a “Clear Input” button.
  • Added Replace Character feature.
  • Now supports two separately defined search bars on the same page.
  • New option to adjust z-index.

Improvements:

  • Index file generation now detects and ignores duplicate content, such as text found in every page header and footer.
  • If any pages are missing from the index file, they will now still be searched dynamically.
  • Index file data is now compressed to reduce file size.
  • Pages at https://website/folder/index.(php|html) and https://website/folder/ are now treated as duplicates and will not be indexed separately.
  • Search results container height now only stays fixed during pagination — it will shrink dynamically for new searches.
  • When searching custom sitemaps, the default sitemap will now be ignored.
  • The popout search results container will now automatically hide when the search input is empty.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented custom text/language settings from applying correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where result descriptions could fail to display a local section title.
  • Fixed a bug that could trigger an error if suggestions were enabled but the stack was not published to the page.
  • Prevents form submission before the page is fully loaded, avoiding unwanted page refreshes on slow-loading pages. A loading indicator is shown until the page is ready.
