More "Site Assets" issues 

Haileselassi!
 
While we're finishing the port of our FC.ImageSearch product to SharePoint 2010 we're coming across a number of flaws with the search result mechanism and especially the "Site Assets" library, which is a new feature in the commercial version of SharePoint 2010.
 
What's wrong with this picture?
 
Site Assets search result data 
 
sitename
Well, the "Site Assets" part (marked in yellow in the screenshot above) is not a sub site but in fact the name of the library. So, the real sitename should be http://2k8r2x64sp10.
 
What's worse is that if you have a search result that is stored within a folder of a library then even the folder name will be concatenated to the sitename!
 
contentclass
As written in the previous blog post, the Site Assets library has a BaseTemplate and RegistrationID of "851". Well, that lack of better naming exists in the search result as well: while the Picture library has a proper contentclass of type "STS_ListItem_PictureLibrary", the Site Assets library is of contentclass "STS_ListItem_851".
 
picturethumbnailurl
Well, as you can see there are no thumbnails available for the images in a Site Assets library. Of course, that is wrong: as you probably noted, the Site Assets library absolutely contains the usual thumbnail and web preview images in the "_t" and "_w" folders. The links just don't get carried over to the search result.
