Search Wikimedia Commons for an image

The image picker’s Commons tab: up to 24 image files on Wikimedia Commons, each with a signed token that names it to the site. It asks Commons; when Commons does not answer in time, no results. A file name (with or without File:) also finds that exact file, first, even before Commons’ search has caught up with it. Files withdrawn or restricted here are left out. Fewer than 2 characters asks nothing. 60 a minute per account.
