--- Comment #1 from WhatamIdoing <[email protected]> ---
Given the fact that users often want to add the image that they just uploaded,
and that Commons's search is fairly often taking a couple of days to "notice"
that these images exist, the default message on wikis that use Commons should
say something like "No image was found.  If you just uploaded an image with
this name, this may be due to the image not being indexed in Commons's search
database yet.  Please try again in a couple of days."

It might also be worth linking to a help page that describes limitations in the
search protocol.  For example, it will find images if I give it the whole name
("2013AliceAndBob") but not if I give it just the start of the name
("2013Alice").
