Can it do an image search like google?


No. ;-/


Yes ;-)

That is, if you have the image parser... which indeed is not so difficult, what with JAI and other libraries. You could index the image metadata.

However, Nutch is not a typical CBIR platform, so I'm not sure if other methods for image retrieval (based on image signatures) would work so well... a lot of customization would be needed, both for indexing and for query. I've been toying with this idea for some time, and methods such as the ones used in imgSeek could be made to work with Nutch...
