We are happy to answer application design questions, and provide assistance with such as an individual consulting or engineering engagement. While we can provide some broad guidelines on the message boards individual circumstances can be different, and what you mean by an image search may be different than we think, or what someone else has in mind.

It should be just like google image search.My simple need is to crawl any site and provide searching facility of these crawled images to the front end. Now for searching any image,the keyword entered by any user should match either "image name" or image alt text" or "some description text related to that image".I can find out the above two but regarding third I am not getting any solid idea.
My requirement is that just submit any site to webinator,it should crawl whole site and provide "web search" and "image search" facility to any user in front end.I think you can understand my problem and confusion regarding this topic.
Thanks.

You could use the sql text2mm() function to distill the text of the page containing the image and use that for the description.
