Search for vector graphics in Google Images

google-image-search

In Google Images, one can normally specify an image format, for example let's say I want PNGs; then I can type filetype:png my search terms.

Today, I wanted to search for some vector graphics so I tried filetype:svg my search terms. However, Google Images completely ignored it and returned the results I'd get for my search terms, without the type restriction.

So, the question is, how to search for vector graphics in Google Images? If it's not possible, what else can I use?

Best Answer

Google recently started indexing SVG files;

It should be there as a 'filetype' option in the advanced images search;
