Hi Everyone, I hope it's okay I post. I'm having a website built using Drupal 7, I've had some issues with the developer and wanted to have a search function that comes up with product images showing in the search results page. They have told me this is not do-able in Drupal and that my only option is a list with no images.
Would you please be able to tell me if this information is correct? and if it's not correct what plugin or what information I can give them so that I can get the right search function for the site.
Thank you SO much for any help, I really appreciate it.

Depends somewhat on the search you use as well as where the images are located, but in general, no, it is not correct. Moreover, I would be very wary of any developer claiming "it can't be done" wrt drupal.
There's a number of ways you could do it. Assuming you are using the core search module and the images are attached to the items, the simplest is probably to override and customize the search-result.tpl.php template file. Another way would be to setup a search using views with exposed filters and include the image in the displayed view.
