Perhaps in the “Only return topics/posts that…” section?
Sure, this popped up before. Support the ability to search for posts with images, but it is not a trivial change.

I have two questions to this feature:
-
Is it both for uploaded images and images pasted as links?
-
Is there a specific use case for images? I think it might be more general to filter posts with any allowed type of attachment uploaded (e.g. pdf, csv).

Good point. Our site only included images, we’ve added .pdf in the meantime.
How about:
“Includes external link”
“Includes uploaded file”
with
Upload:image, .pdf, xml, .jpg, png
as manual fine grained filters so the user can add very explicit filters as required?
Both.
I think that should be its own filter. People frequently post images from other image sharing resources like imgur.

Resolved with:
- searching for posts with images by selecting filter Includes image(s) in section Only return topics/posts that… - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/4917
- searching for posts which contain files with explicit file extensions by querying
<keywords> filetype:pdf- https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/4958

This is really useful, but I had to search for a while on meta to find the correct syntax.
Could it be added to the advanced search UI?
