does anyone know why google doesn't index description pages of images? if i do a google search like this: "site:wikipedia.org inurl:image" i just get about 650 result, some of which are media files, but none are images (jpg/gif/png).
Probably Google is stupid enough to think '.jpg' at the end of a URL means the resource is itself an image.
"File extensions" are meaningless on URLs, and should not be relied upon. (Internet Explorer has some security problems related to this.)
