Unfortunately, wiki file types (not to confuse with MIME types!) are
kind of unobvious. The right incantation is:

shark filetype:bitmap

Though shark filetype:drawing works too :)

Yes, there's no chance to know that without the docs[1] and it isn't
something I'm happy about, but so far no idea of how to improve it has
been found. If anybody has good ideas in this regard, please feel
welcome to share.

P.S. at least filetype:video and filetype:audio are intuitive :)
