Gary Price has shared some interesting image type queries for Ask.com:
watercolors of flowers
Minnesota Twins logos
Diagram of car

You'll see images first, then some ads and then regular search results below that. To the right are "Narrow Your Search" options, which look like clusters.

So what's the big deal? Ask.com discerns from your query that you are looking for an image even though your search is entered on the regular web search. It then shows a sample of images where normally, there would only be text results.
