Hopefully when the GUI is updated to make this kind of search easier for
users with lower skill levels, the syntax will become a non-issue.

Hi!
Is Justin's suggestion of aliases feasible,
so that "filetype:image" is
the same as "filetype:bitmap"? there's still the question of what to map
to what, but that seems like it would help if it's easy enough to
implement. And of course a histogram of filetype:<x> would tell you what
people are trying to use.
But maybe adding aliases to reserve words is too messy.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150887 for it. Using logs to
see what people are using with filetype: is a great idea too, we'd have
to wait for a month or so to gather data I assume.
