I suspect this isn't quite the right place to ask it; feel free to point me at the right component in Bugzilla if not. But here goes: it should be possible to do something equivalent to Google's filetype: operator, at least on Commons. There are times when you want video; times when you want audio; etc., etc. So it'd be really nice to provide that :)

I've found that using something like "intitle:ogg" works reasonably well, since the number of allowed file types/extensions on commons is fairly limited...

That's helpful, thanks! I still think a proper/accurate solution would be really helpful if we want people to treat us as a serious source of non-photo materials.

(With the right account this time).
