I like Ian Walls' suggested change, but have some implementation questions. 
Would we settle on a list of allowable entries for the 856q field?  There are a
LOT of image file extensions, some old ones that may be in limited use but
still out there, and we know there will be new ones in the future.  Would it
make sense to just use "image" or "img" in the q subfield for any image file
then trigger off that?  Or do we work up a list of the common image types and
use that list only?

Also, I think it makes sense to leave the system preference in as well, as
depending on where the images are loading from and the number of hits on a
search this can effect page loading speed, particularly on the results page. 
The system preference would allow control over whether the attempt is even made
to display images on the results page thus keeping it from being sluggish.

I will add code to check the 856q subfield for 'img' for now.
