Just type in the extension in the search tab. eg: .mp3
For audio, put the extension in the Title search box of the Audio type search. Likewise use specific media type search for other extensions. eg: Image type search .jpg, etc.
Characters such as * etc are not recognised by LW's search engine.
BTW you can filter your search results too using this technique explained here
