Yes? Well look no further. We have found the place for you to search for icons. And it is brilliantly named Iconfinder! I have tried using Google’s image search to look for icons and although I done quite a number of images (not icons), I guess there are many ways the search can be improved. Especially if you are specifically looking for icons.However, you can easily convert images to icons as there are software which can do that for you. Iconfinder on the other hand is used only for searching for icons. Sure, the number of listings they have is limited but I still got what I wanted. One of the flaws is that searches sometime gives you the wrong result and most often that not, you will get nothing from your searches. I am also not sure how Iconfinder arranges or displays the results. I am guessing that it is not arranged in any order. In my opinion, this will be a problem as the Iconfinder cache gets bigger with more icons.

All the icons are in PNG format. This should be good news for most of us as this format provides a better quality image. Plus it allows transparency. You can submit icons to the site by sending them an email. I doubt Iconfinder sends out bots to look for icons, unlike other Search Engines. If they only cache images from submissions, then the number of images they have is very limited. It would be better for them to have graphic bots out to look for images and add them automatically to their cache. They shouldn’t wait till people submit icons to their site. With the vastness of the Internet and to be a comprehensive site for icons, that’s the way forward.
