at the risk of repeating what others have already said:

1.  don't store the images in the database; store them in an image 
directory and store the name of each image plus any commentary in the database.
2.  store your search results in a temporary table
3.  loop through that temporary table echoing each result (as you say) with 
previous/next posting a direction to go, backwards or forwards, for the 
next one
