Hoi, The basic problem with all these images at archive.org is the same Commons has. How do you find that useful image. Commons is where you can contribute but how about actually using and finding all the great material that is hidden so well ? Thanks, GerardM
Basically, you can't.
Internet Archive has this problem in several other topics, like its Wayback Machine, there is not search engine to search the billions grabbed websites by keyword of whatever.
Internet Archive is a pile of hard disks and a time capsule with backups, and they try to do the best at showing the materials (media players, pdf viewers), but it is not always easy or possible.

Brilliant! Now we just need someone with a good idea, a fast connection and huge hard drives to do cool stuff with all those images :)

https://archive.org/details/wikimediacommons
So far it's about 24 TB of archives and there are also a hundred
torrents
you can help seed, ranging from few hundred MB to over a TB, most
around 400
GB.
Everything is documented at
