By the way I played a little bit with the the interface in order to improve 
the media search in Commons. Have a look at:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&uselang=en

I just did make some bold use of [[MediaWiki:Searchresulttext]]. Maybe other 
projects find this small idea useful can adapt it for their own needs.
