But in the context of your point, it's really not the first thing a user's eyes are drawn to. They could make it more prominent. Click that link, it takes the user to Google's own dictionary, where a definition with no pictures is shown.

How's about a search engine that actually gives you a structured definition of the word, taken from various sources of the internets, and then links to those sources?
