Yeah, but this is a metadata search, correct? Seems to me Our Protectors(TM) are probably able to search a vast database of images themselves. In other words, go look for details they hadn't previously thought of as being important (and hence were not available in metadata). Given high-density CCDs and real cheap storage, these details may be very minute, or perhaps small+far away. -TD

You probably already know of this, but something like Photodisc? Getty Images - stock photos and images:
http://www.photodisc.com/ http://www.fotosearch.com/photodisc/
Has a search feature, eg "content young woman sitting looking at camera" (direct quote used to find the pic MicroSoft used for their "switch" campaign).
