Google News will once again index content from the Agence France-Presse (AFP), settling a lawsuit the French news agency brought against the search engine giant in 2005.

The two parties inked a licensing agreement that will put AFP headlines and photographs back on Google News, Google Actualities and other Google services.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

"The agreement will allow uses of AFP's content in ways that go beyond its typical use of content in Google's services, which features just headlines and snippets of text to provide just a taste of what an article offers," AFP chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pierre Louette said in a statement.
