Can you filter by file type? Trying to filter by language hasn't worked previously for me when working with niche frameworks such as EPICS which uses .db and .proto files built on C and It is a popular framework for large scale scientific facilities for controls development.

Yes! You can filter by file extension like this:

path:*.proto

Or you can use language filters:

lang:protobuf

And you can even use boolean expressions to find several different extensions/languages/filetypes in a single query, like:

(lang:protobuf OR path:*.db OR path:*.txt) search_term

If you are looking to filter files by their type, such as filtering by .db and .proto files used in EPICS which are built on C language, you may need to use a file explorer or a search tool that supports filtering by file extensions. EPICS is indeed a widely used framework in large-scale scientific facilities for controls development. If you encounter issues filtering by language, focusing on the file types directly could be a more effective approach.

My query has already been resolved by @colinwm - See quoted reply below:
