I have moved this topic to definitions. I believe the definitions simply need to be updated to fix this. This will be added when the definitions are updated this month.
I've had a detailed look at this and the problem I see is that Google Image is not passing the search kewords/keyphrases. Without this information, there is not a lot of point in tracking this as a search and it will skew the data because the search engine reports won't add up.

Hi,
That's right, but :
When you click to the URL of the referrer, it should go to the images.google.xxx page that linked to your site. This page should contains, in the top right corner, a link to the original keyworks. This link is normally named "Image Results".
The problem is that the referrer URL in metatraffic is too short, so the URL is truncated and the "Image Results" link is not shown.
MetaTraffic was designed to only track a maximum referrer URL of 255 characters due to a limitation in MS Access. If you use MS SQL or MySQL, you could override this by changing the field length of r_url in the mt_referrers table to something longer such as 500 characters. Then edit the clsLog.asp file to allow for longer strings than 255 characters to be inserted in the database. In MetaTraffic Lite 2.26, you can edit line 303 that looks like this:
rsReferrer(1) = ProtectInsert(strReferrer, 255)
And change it to:
rsReferrer(1) = ProtectInsert(strReferrer, 500)
The above example assumes you want to change the referrer URL character length to 500 characters.
We can see the sequence &prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcitroen%2Bcx%26start%3D18%2
that can be translated into
&prev=/images?q=citroen;cx&start=18&gbv=2&ndsp=18&hl=fr&sa=N
so the keywords are between ?q= and &start=
But i don't know how to generate the appropriate definition :evil:

Exploring a Google Image URL the keywords do appear :D
Example of Referer for the following keywords : citroen cx
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.francecasse.fr/images/logo_marque/citroen.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.francecasse.fr/piece-detachee-citroen/cx.htm&h=281&w=298&sz=25&hl=fr&start=28&sig2=Fjt06yRHK0Youe-mXDrXxQ&tbnid=tfVkea454MGedM:&tbnh=109&tbnw=116&ei=n6OxR96aNaOW0QTZxKi-Cw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcitroen%2Bcx%26start%3D18%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Dfr%26sa%3DN
We can see the sequence &prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcitroen%2Bcx%26start%3D18%2
that can be translated into
&prev=/images?q=citroen;cx&start=18&gbv=2&ndsp=18&hl=fr&sa=N
so the keywords are between ?q= and &start=
