As far as I know there is no "indexer" in Gimp... Gimp doesn't search 
pictures, it edits them. If Gimp is correctly installed, once you have 
found the picture (by any means..., ) opening it with Gimp is one of the 
choices...

Picasa is a photomanager with some editing capabilities, Gimp is just a 
powerful image editor. You can keep managing your pictures with Picasa, 
and you can edit them with Gimp once you have located them in Picasa 
(Gimp is likely a choice in the right click menu).
