hmm but if you're happy with a page that searches google images but doesn't do the autocomplete and you already use duckduckgo, then you can just search on that and add !gi to the beginning or end of your search. Also !i will search bing images. There are plent of other ones too (or you can click to the right to see a dropdown list).
Although i thought the issue was not wanting to search google images itself in general?
If not then not really sure why the autocomplete is such a bother. That being said, the stupid bloody "google instant" that happens by default in normal google searches and won't stay turned off unless you feed them cookies is bloody annoying. How can anyone have thought it was a good idea?

Following your tangent, built-in search bars are a waste of space, I rarely use it (though I never bothered to disable it, either).
Opera's address bar search beats everything else. Enter a short keyword into the address bar to specify which search engine, then put in the search string. e.g. "g palindrome" will search for palindromes on Google, "w palindrome" will look it up on Wikipedia, "gis palindrome" will search Google Images, etc.
I love it, and feel seriously inconvenienced whenever I use another browser, which invariably ends up dumbly searching google for the letter w whenever I try to search Wikipedia.
Chrome does something similar with it's omnibar thingamajig. You can set up any bookmark as a search engine, and assign keywords to them. If you want to search the site, you type in the keyword, hit tab, then type in your search.
