Perhaps I should have been clearer too, but I used tor to do a couple
Google image searches and the search results pages had all the
appropriate image thumbnails that you apparently are not getting. I used
tor on Debian to do these searches. That is to say, there's nothing
wrong with tor and Google image searching generally. Rather, there must
be something not quite right at your end, which could merely be network
congestion.

This sort of thing happens... The other day I couldn't get tor to
connect to any Yahoo! page. I didn't assume anything was wrong with tor.
I just figured the current tor connection I had wasn't working so great
and would try again later.
