You probably know that already, but you can search for more images
(around 1,5 million indexed right now) by using upload.wikimedia.org
instead of commons.wikimedia.org:

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&q=site%3Aupload.wikimedia.org&btnG=Search+Images

Unfortunately this also includes the fair use uploads.
