Include Thumbnail Image in Search Results

Hi - I have searched the forum and can't seem to find a solution to this question - "Is it possible to include a thumbnail image in the search results listing"?

I found the template search-result.html in folder perch/core/templates/search that contains the following code...

<perch:if exists="result_thumb"><img src="<perch:search id="result_thumb" />"></perch:if>

If I use the <perch:showall /> function in my search results template, I can't find any fields that look like they refer / relate to any image. The search results being listed are blog posts that I know contain images.

Is anyone able to shed any light on if I can show thumbnail images, and if so, how?

Thanks

Does <perch:showall /> list your image URL?
