Hum, do you think that images in ppt files (for example) are so revelant?

Most of the time, they are just logos and illustrations, aren't they?

Or maybe ppt is used more than I could imagine to make slideshows?

Powerpoints are widely used by teachers / researchers on conferences, seminars, universities and even schools. Powerpoints are a good combing device because the authors usually have searched hard the web to find good images or know someone who can provide the the right images to illustrate some concept.

Try 'Self-Organization convection filetype:ppt' at Google. For instance the 4th search result

saved my day some months ago.

At least for subjects on physics they are quite good.

As far as I can tell, Exalead's competitor (Yahoo!) seems to think otherwise. Cf. the following query at Yahoo:

http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A9iby4LxlclGl.4AXQGJzbkF?p=fromurl%3Appt+-fromurl%3Ahtm+-fromurl%3Ahtml+-fromurl%3Aphp+-fromurl%3Aflickr.com&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt

As we can see, Yahoo has indexed at least 126,094 images from powerpoints and those images do not seem to be crap. May you need a guide for the query language used, consult my essay:
