From a news letter we received from Search Day (Search Engine Watch)we received this explanation for file types: You can use some of Google's search syntax to get around this. To narrow to file type, use the filetype command. For example, this: cars filetype:email would bring back only email matches with the word cars mentioned. A list of known file types we've tested to date and found work are: Word: filetype:word or filetype:doc

It also doesn't allow you to specify which directories or actual file types to index. Just not enough info coming out on this thing yet.
Excel: filetype:excel or filetype:xls
PowerPoint: filetype:powerpoint or filetype:ppt
Text: filetype:text or filetype:txt
Email: filetype:email
Chat: filetype:chat
Web History/HTML Files: filetype:web or filetype:html
Images: filetype:jpg or filetype:gif
Acrobat: filetype:pdf
Windows Media: filetype:wma or filetype:wmv
MP3: filetype:mp3
For email, chat and web history, you can also narrow by clicking on the count numbers, as described above. As for images, Acrobat and other files, keep in mind that only text in the file names will be matched, not any meta data or actual text contained within the files.
