Assuming you are using a stock IC, just add another search set
(sf,op,se,nu), as you are already using co=1. However, it does not really
seem like that search is doing anything... there is no se parameter. I don't
use the stock IC or these types of searches, but it could be as easy as
adding:

sf=image/se='default.gif'/op=ne/nu=0

But I can forsee problems with the se part in there (it's probably not
valid). The [query] tag will happily take this ala

	WHERE image <> 'default.gif'
