That's exactly why you need something like discussions: refinement. There's no specific 'right result' for every possible user and query. Google might give precedence to blog posts or articles from big sites for some queries but what I really want is to search forum posts.
They might as well just remove the search options for images with that premise, since they supposedly know what you really want and you don't need to filter.
