Roan,
I've looked at search, but it only seems to return names of pages, not images. Is there a way to make it return images?

Basically, I would like to replicate the functionality of the commons.wikimedia.org search page. Ideally I would like to be able to
get a
Category listing (ex.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chartres_Cathedral)
or a true search results (ex.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=%... ),
but at this point I would be happy with either.
The search results are exposed through the API:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srs... . Unfortunately we don't really have image keywords or anything like that, so searching for images is not as simple as it probably should be. But it's probably been done before.
