[FEATURE/ADDED]1. Search API, 2. submit site map to google.com etc.

Glad to see you guys up!

1. Not sure if this is in the pipelines already, but a simple search api would be great.

Alternately...

2. Current, searching "site:freesvg.org" on google returns about 4300 results. It was around 2000 yesterday. So it's slowly picking up the site, but when you search for "site:freesvg.org", it also says this at the top:

Try Google Search Console
www.google.com/webmasters/
Do you own freesvg.org? Get indexing and ranking data from Google.

Sounds like the site map has not been generated and submitted to google. If this is in place, leveraging google's searching would work well for those of us who already use the search api on google, and would lower the need for a dedicated api.

Thanks again!

Hi,
1. Search API is planned to be available in near future.
2. We have just recently published site and Google needs time to collect data.
We have registered freesvg at www.google.com/webmasters/ and you can see sitemap index at
https://freesvg.org/sitemap.xml (each sitemap fajl have 5000 links)

Re: [FEATURE/ADDED]1. Search API, 2. submit site map to google.com etc.

Update:

While many results are appearing in image search in google, it gets taken down to 0 when any of the filters on Tools > Usage Rights are applied. I am not sure if this is due to the indexer not being able to determine the status as public domain, or if it is something that'll be fix itself as the indexing continues. I thought it was worth mentioning, though.

Thanks!

Tnx very much for suggestion.
I have added <image:license> tag in sitemap files so that Google can properly mark them.
Also suggested markup was added to license link on each image.
This should result in images to appear in image search filter.
