I think I have got around this problem....
if your images are on a network drive, try adding the drive/folder to
your search index (if you can't add it you may want to add this
'Availability of the Windows Desktop Search add-in for Files on
Microsoft Networks' (

It seems to have cleared up the problem for me.
