A method and system are disclosed that associate search keywords with relevant images from within sources, such as books, magazines, journals, etc., thereby making the images available for search using the associated keyword. Such associations enable a search engine to identify, in response to a search query, a relevant image within the source that would have not been provided otherwise. For example, an image of the Titanic that appears in a historical or cultural book may be associated with the search keyword "ship." Accordingly, if a user submits the search query "ship and Infamous Ocean Voyages" (i.e., the keyword "ship" and the title of a book), an image of the Titanic from the book entitled "Infamous Ocean Voyages" may be returned among the search results.
