Yeah, I assume Google is working on a way to scan the images themselves for relevancy through an algorithm, but for now they just rely on keywords. Hopefully we'll see some progress in that (and video search) soon. 2. Because that goes against Google's philosophy of automating everything for the user, they want to be able to provide the most relevant information no matter what vertical it is in, and really it doesn't matter. I do wish they would improve it though, such as with videos (when they have a better algorithm for searching videos directly than keywords) where it would jump to the specific spot in the video that is relevant to the search, as long as the user obtains the information they need, it doesn't matter where it is. But if you're so picky, there are the links on the top left corner that you can click on, sometimes I like to refine my searches to News and Blog searches as well for example, although I use Inquisitor to do that instead of clicking the links directly.
