Description

I'm seeing a lot of information about how to add analyzers, but if there any way to add filter types to the search?

I don't need the files to be treated differently once I find them, I just need to be able to search for them.

Is this covered somewhere? If not, could it be?

Research direction
Review OpenGrok's existing analyzers (e.g., JavaAnalyzerFactory, PythonAnalyzer) to understand the pattern for adding a new file type. Look at the source code in the opengrok/src/... directory, particularly the AnalyzerFactory class and any filter registration mechanism. Check if there is documentation on adding a new language analyzer. The issue comments may contain further guidance from maintainers.
