The SearchThumbs extension simply adds an image thumbnail next to each search result to help users identify the page and decide if it's what they're looking for. It requires Extension:PageImages to work and has no configuration options.

  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SearchThumbs' );
