Google, in its redesign to show search options in the left rail, dropped "pages with images" and replaced it with "sites with images" - an inferior choice.
Pages with Images showed the image with the text from a page. This made it much easier to assess if the content was going to be relevant.
Sites with Images confuses the matter - image could come from another page. The images are also smaller and displayed in a row, rather than next to the text.
A small change - but significant - there is some loss of usability.
