Most of the stock photo libraries on the web offer keyword searching and pretty good size comp photos if you register.

I shoot most of my regular reference myself - the more the better. It also depends on what kind of images you're looking for - landscape, humans, tech, skies, space ...

A good reference collection is worth a 100 times the harddisk space it's using. I've now got probably about 8GB of reference and still feel I'm just starting ...
