http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MIMESearch is extremely user unfriendly.

There should be drop-downs with the variations pre-filled.

Dropdown 1: MIME main type:
* image/drawing (jpg, png, svg, wmf, ps, etc.)
* audio  (ogg, mp3, wav, midi, etc.)
* video (ogg, mpg, etc.)
* multimedia (scriptable multimedia: flash, advanced video container formats, etc)
* office (office documents, containing apples, scripts, etc)
* text (plain text, e.g. *.txt or *.php)
* executable (binary executable, e.g. *.exe)
* archive (?) 
* unknown (unknown formats and 'bitmap')
* non-image (all, except 'image')

A second dropdown could list the minor types.

I know this can be hard to add a sdefault so add a global where I can define them. E.g.

$wgMIMESearchSelect = array( 
  'image/jpeg',
  'image/png',
  'image/bmp',
  ' audio/ogg',
  ...
}

It would of course be much better if you craete the dropdowns automatically based on $wgFileExtensions.
