Description

Problem

More search engines are always welcome in a project like this, to improve the number of relevant options to users.

Description

While we're in the process of renaming it to 'External Sources', since the meaning of 'meta search' is a bit confusing for folks (not to mention, using the word 'meta' in a project with '-verse' in its name seems ill-advised), a feature similar to this search engine is still quite popular in Openverse.

Our list of sources might be a good reference for some to include in this meta search. We also have the guidelines for how to format their URLs:
