For local searches you can do whatever you want, like use mime types or file extensions. If your CGI and server allows wildcard expansions then the usual regex stuff would work, though maybe not so secure. You could also use layered refinement, ie. 1st round returns a results page for a keyword search + a "refine these results" search menu which filters for Type, 2nd keyword, etc. You'd likely need to limit the number of returned results to keep things manageable.
