Despite their importance, protostellar outflow searches have rarely been conducted in an unbiased fashion. Here, we present an extensive and unbiased survey of outflows found in the molecular clouds observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope Legacy Project "From Molecular Cores to Planet Forming Disks" (c2d). The survey was conducted by visually examining all the c2d IRAC images, where the 4.5 µm band was especially sensitive to detecting shocked emission associated with protostellar outflows. From this method of careful inspection, we were able to identify and characterize potential new outflows in these star forming regions. Taking advantage of Spitzer's wide wavelength range, we also used MIPS data to associate outflow properties, such as scale, orientation, and brightness, to properties of the suspected driving sources, such as bolometric luminosity and temperature.
