The standard output for search results with images is a thumbnail with text matches on the same line.

For Commons, depending on the search, the text match is secondary. It would be interesting if there was an optional layout that just displays a gallery of thumbnails as category pages do.

The output would be similar to one of the "file search" function of Commons Commander ( http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commcomm/ ).

Larger thumbnails would help sometimes.

Not exactly what you're requesting, but related (and inspired by what you said) I did a little experiment with user js for a sort of gallery search kind of like google instant search.


Anyways, its at [[User:Bawolff/quickImageSearch]] if you're interested. (have to add things to your user js too.)
Comment 2 User:Docu 2011-02-03 22:08:54 UTC 
It's at [[Commons:User:Bawolff/quickImageSearch]] (standard links go to en.WP).

Great tool. The result is quite what I had in mind. Thanks.
Comment 3 John Mark Vandenberg 2011-10-14 09:36:41 UTC 
This is similar to bug 8738.
Comment 4 Andre Klapper 2014-07-07 17:36:21 UTC 
Wondering if a gallery output similar to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NewImages would fulfil this request.
