No more diversion to other pages.

v1.0.1 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.1 (for Joomla 1.5)

Unused variables. The previous version contains some unused variables. You will see some warning messages if you have set PHP to full error reporting ("error_reporting = E_ALL" in php.ini). Have fixed these unused variables in this version.
Unique Features
===============
Since Google did not release any API for searching its Google images, I have used the method similar to mod_wrapper to include the Google Image Search through iFrame. However, unlike some other iFrame implementations, this component/module pair has some unique features:
* The accompanying module allows you to add a search form as a module. This means that you can place the search form in any module position you like.
* You can define your own watermark text in the search field.
* You can add two Google Ads - one above and one below the search results!
