A quick test shows Google's image search is way, way better:

http://www.use.com/search.cgi?q=shit&t=image&i=

vs.

http://images.google.com/images?q=shit&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en (check out the top row, 3rd from left)

As if a Google image search for "shit" is going to bring up work-safe pics of flowers and fluffy puppies.

I worked for a law firm that was suing the pants off of any website that was remotely close to the spelling of 'google'. They were even gunning for this website called 'goggleguy.com' which sold goggles for swimming and was up and running years before google. Google won.
