No. Both the results they cough up and the coding behind them usually belong to companies and individual people. Unless the creator of the search engine specifically states otherwise, search engines are not in the public domain.

When you browse Google or like search engines for images is there any permission that you have to gain from anyone in order to use the images as profile pictures on your social networking site?

The pictures as shown by Search Engines belong to someone. You cannot use these pictures, unless they belong to public domain or under creative commons license. In case, if the website owner or the contributor grants you the license to use it, then only you can.. Alternatively if you want to search these public domain photos, you can type in "Public Domain Pictures" or "Free to Use" stock photos, pictures, etc. in Search Engines. There are many sites which provide with "Free for Commercial Use", "Free for Personal Use" pictures, icons, etc.
