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.

Brandon,
On a matter that originally arose in Meta and on the Foundation
list,
but may be of interest to this list as well, do
you know the
answer to the
question posed here ...
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2011-October/006290.html
... or do you know someone who does?

Brandon, I still think we need to remake the

a quick, basic whiz.
I would still love your graphic skills on this
one if you can
spare the time
