Let me ask you this. If it were your site, would you want the functionality dictated to you by 1% of the people that use your site?
Why would Lensman put an image verification system in front of search that impacts 99% of the legitimate people that use search? I?m sure no one is going to to get upset about that.
The key to a successful GFY is to be accountable for the functionality and take care of the people that make site great. Users shouldn?t have to change the way they interact with the site. Apply your same logic to google.

You just need to think about it a little more Ray. If you can't come up with anything, then brainstorm with people who you think can. If they can't, then find some new people to brainstorm with.
But there are plenty of answers to this problem.
If this were 12 months ago, I would have gladly explained some of them to you. I can't give away too many ideas away anymore though. I really wish I could, I enjoy GFY as much as the next guy.
I'll give you a clue though... even if you had image verification on the search 100% of the time, I don't think GFY members would give two fucks about it when faced with your alternative -
no search at all. 
Maybe you should do VB's image-verification based search as a
temporary fix then? Since it's obviously a better solution than no search at all. No?
And this isn't google, so it's illogical to apply the same logic to it.
But maybe
you should look to google for solutions for your problem.
