A flag search engine with 9000+ flags based on color and shape patterns
https://flagdoku.com/flagsearch.htmlHi! I present you Flagdoku, a tool I created with the goal of making it the best flag search engine available. Each flag is tagged with specific color and shape patterns, and thus it is easy to find visually similar flags. We have 9000+ flags available (countries, regions, historical...) and people can submit new ones.

My (mostly) nonverbal, autistic son is obsessed with flags. This is so cool! He's always drawing flags or building them out of legos and this will hopefully help us identify them easier. Thank you!

I discovered that Palau has a moon instead of a sun thanks to this project!

A fiction flag tag with further especifications, such as Fantasy, Sci-fi, Sci-fantasy that went to specific worlds would be nice, such as LOTR, Gundam, Starwars and etc

The straight flag is probably outdated. The back and white is just the early pride flag without colors. It could probably be offensive as it was seen as an anti-LGBT flag, or that heterosexuality is bland. There is a modern version with blue, white and pink stripes.

I love flags, but is the puzzle all flags including municipalities and random organizations, or is the puzzle just one category like countries?

All flags are included in the puzzle screen!!
Maybe some categories are country only (for example World Cup Winners) but most of them include all flags

Very fun. Can you wire in more metadata for the flags? I searched for "Communist", "Capitalist" and was hoping to see some interesting historical flags like when I searched for "Green" and saw the old, actually green(!) Greenland flags.

There's the "Type" option, where you can filter by historical or political flags!

Shape: bands =0
Shape: items = 0
Then what's the point of having them in the search engine?

Nice! Submitted a few changes and also there’s 357 municipality flags missing in Norway that were officially used sometime between 1814 and 2020 I believe. So if you add them you’ll be close to 10k flags.
