IconLook.com is a very simple and fast icon search engine that allows you to search by keyword and size.  Simply type in the keyword or tag that you’re looking for, and IconLook will return all available icons in sizes ranging from 12×12 to 128×128 pixels in size.

Every web, application, and software developer should have a good icon search engine at their fingertips.  Some place you can turn to when you’ve searched through Google images, Flickr, and the web… but come back with nothing.  Instead of searching high and low for the right icon, install Iconlook.com into your browser and find what you’re looking for the first time.

TinyApps.org - Large directory of small applications

TinyApps.org is a simple directory filled with hundreds, if not thousands of unique, small, and hard to find applications.  As the name says, Tinyapps.org only contains software with a small footprint and is less than 1.44mb in size.  For any of you over the age of say 25, you’ll remember that 1.44mb is the size of the small hard cased floppy disks.  Those floppy disks are now largely obsolete, but I like that they kept that criteria as it fits the circa 1994 design of the site.

Other requirements of applications listed in the directory are they must be Freeware or OpenSource and not malice or adware. There are a few shareware applications, but they only offer them if there isn’t a freeware version available.

SearchIcon.net - Search for web and desktop icons

SearchIcon.net does just that… Search for different icons available for download. This is an extremely useful site for any web designer or developer looking for that hard to find icon. Simply do a search for type of icon your looking for, such as “Email” and it will return the results in a gallery of the matching icons.

Since this site seems to be in Beta Mode, there are a few bugs I’ve found through the interface.  First, there are two links above the icons that don’t work; Tags and License.  Both of these would be extremely useful when creating a proffessional web site.  The tags would be a nice feature to find related icons. Secondly, the License link would also be useful since you want to make sure that you’re not using a rights protected icon. There is also an issue with the speed.  The service seems to be a little slow, so the search can take some time if the icon you’re looking for isn’t on the first results page.
