<?php $image=json_decode($this->result->image); ?>
<?php $aimage=$image->image_intro; ?>   
<div class="search-img">
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_($route); ?>">
<img src="/<?php echo $aimage; ?>" >

Smart search plugins say which fields should be indexed. You could replace some of the smart search plugins with ones of your own.
