Doesn't do anything at all—searches appear exactly the same as they did before adding extension. Perhaps abandoned by developer but still up on the chrome store?

It does literally nothing (except track your activity). I think because google decided that it was too risky to show us anything other than stock images but still wanted to know what images people are looking at.
