Not 100% sure but if the alt text says "widgets" it would make sense for the image to turn up on a GIS for "widgets".

I believe that Google indexes images just like it does HTML. In that it finds an image, checks the alt text, and indexes the image. Oft times I use robots.txt to block Google from looking in image folders.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong - I'm just guessing that's what happens.
