Title: Microsoft Clip Art Gallery was completely closed back in December (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gizmodo.com&#x2F;microsoft-is-killing-clip-art-because-nobody-uses-it-an-1665634402) and replaced by Bing Images. As a teacher, this is turning out to be a huge problem when trying to make worksheets. The old clip art gallery was immensely useful because:<p><pre><code>  1. Filtering by image type worked perfectly.
  2. I knew there would be no license issues.
  3. Although content may not have been perfect, the quality was uniform and good enough for handouts.
  4. I wouldn&#x27;t run into NSFW images (I have seen NSFW images even with strict search on before).
  5. No watermarks.
  6. Predictable uniform dimensions.

I understand that for the majority of people the Clip Art Gallery was useless. But for us educators, it was invaluable. Can anyone suggest an alternative with similar quality &amp; functionality to the old Clip Art Search?<p>Granted that it&#x27;s legal, I&#x27;m even willing to replicate the old Clip Art Search site &amp; host it if an archive of all the clip art images is available for download.<p>In case anyone is curious, here are the main problems with generic image search engines (Bing, Google):<p><pre><code>  - Strict search is not full proof. With Google, turning it on breaks half of YouTube as well (blocks an insane amount of content so good luck looking for music&#x2F;videos to use in the classroom without resorting to downloading it).
  - It&#x27;s annoying to find clip art because most of the clip art on the web is watermarked.
  - Licensing (Bing is support to have an option for this but I don&#x27;t see it when I use Bing Images!)
  - It&#x27;s also annoying to have to deal with images of varying dimensions and quality (takes longer to adjust sizes in docs). Picking Square on Bing Images doesn&#x27;t actually give you 1:1 ratio images.</code></pre>
