what does mime searh for? is this feature running now?--Yongxinge 11:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't appear to be working at the moment (search for image/jpeg should have pulled up thousands of responses but didn't get a single one). I'd guess MIMEsearch allows you to search the uploaded files by MIME type -PoptartKing 00:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I went to this to look for image/gif to batch convert some to PNGs, but that type doesn't work either. Once it works, it would be a good idea to make it easier to use by giving a pull-down menu to select different types. Or else a list of checkboxes so you can look for one than one type at the same time.--Henry Dorsett Case 18:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't work at all. Even on the other Wikipedias. The problem is probably a bug in the script or sth like that. MonteChristof 19:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know the code's not broken because I've successfully used MIMEsearch on on a non-Wikimedia wiki before. Is it somehow disabled here? If so, it makes little sense to keep the feature in MediaWiki. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 19:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems broken to me, both here and on other wikis..Maybe a regression somewhere...A pity as this is quite useful, especially for automated tools... Brettz9 (talk) 05:45, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MediaWiki really should be more clear on what the MIME search even does, as I have absolutely no clue what it does. To me, the MIME search function on Wikipedia and other WikiMedia Wikis is just a waste, as I have tried it on others, but it hasn't worked. --Likestodraw (talk) 03:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
