@Anonymous
I’m partially agree with you,will redefined this article asap.
I apologies for any inconvenience but i think the post is not yet updated from the draft.
Secondly don’t worry about the copyright issues as i’ll better take care of references,sources and suggestions.
About this article:
Apart from these flickr search tools their are many other custom scripts based on php.Most of the time these scripts / function are integrated with the image search.Secondly if you remember about the wordpres plugins that integrates the flickr images into the post is based of simple php call to flickr search api / script.
Last but not least i’m quite agree with @harsh that till now the most often used tools for the flickr search is http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/.
