I didn't know they were on the default search form!

I had this discussion a while ago regarding them on the (backup)
search form, for when ours was down -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Googlesearch#Images

where my argument was

a) that they were being used for the reasonably sensible use of
identifying what the box you were about to type a query into was; and

b) that no-one was giving a reason to avoid them beyond a mechanical
"remove fair use images"
