How do I get the search results to show an image?

I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

I’d like users to search my images

You can search images as described in the below documentation.

Search Media Files Or Attachments

and have the result show the image, not just the title

The search results page and images in it are displayed by search.php file of the theme that you are using on your website.

To display images in place of links, you have to develop custom code in the search.php file of the theme which you can do by contacting the theme developer or get custom code developed for it from https://ivorysearch.com/custom-work/
