The first hit is a gallery page.
From Wikipedia articles we link to Commons and limit it to galleries images
if one exists. But with searches all the images show up.

** One easy way to fix all of these searches is to create Gallery pages for these terms. If a gallery page for "cucumber" existed, all searches for "cucumber" would go immediately to that gallery page rather than pulling up random images.

Thanks for the link, Brandon.
I had raised this in the image filter discussions on Foundation-l yesterday (as well as on http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Diskussion:Kurier ), and it seems to have triggered some thought, which is all for the good.
Here are searches that deliver similar results in Wikipedia and Commons:
pearl necklace
cucumber
Zahnbürste (German for toothbrush)
toothbrush
electric toothbrushes
jumping ball
underwater
... and likely many, many others.

question posed here ...

... or do you know someone who does?
