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.
