Icon Size
Image Size Filtering: Allows you to quickly filter by a certain image size using a little check box system on the right sidebar.
Icon Category Filtering: Common tags are displayed on the right. So lets say you search for social networking icons and then want to drill down to just the Facebook or Twitter icons. You would simply need to put a check box in either the twitter or Facebook box on the right and it would filter out all unwanted icons.
Search Features
Robust Auto Search Suggest: The site also has a very clean and robust search page that not only allows you to search bu also provides hints as you are typing.
Share Your Icons: If you are an icon designer they have a great user feature that allows you to upload and manage your icon collection and even lets you provide a link back to your website. It’s a great way to promote your icons and it cost’s nothing. So that may be something you want to think about doing as a designer.
