Has anyone found a way to refine search results by filetypes for images in a picture library? The extension is shown as (aspx) for my images, but they are all .jpg files. I'm using SharePoint Online.
I've applied FileType and FileExtension refiners to my refiner web part:
Here's my results - note that FileType doesn't even work with these, and I just get .aspx as an extension. FileType works for all my other documents, like .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, etc.

It does navigate to the properties page. I believe this is due to not being able to add .jpg or .png files to the list of crawled files in SharePoint, since I am using the Online version. Why they don't include these is completely beyond me.
However, if you use a regular document library, then the list items are ALL that is displayed, with not even a picture preview. Because I've put these in a picture library, the images are displayed in the search results. Other than that I haven't been able to figure out much.

Honestly, Don't think it's even possible, but I figured I'd post here and see if anyone had any better luck than me, or maybe we can simply have images added to the crawled file types list? Maybe? Let a man dream.

I believe that's what I ended up doing. I did manage to find the right attribute though, it was a long time ago. Thanks,
