Description

When searching for a file there should be an option to only include local files in the results, and not files from a shared file repository.

Wikimedia version

Hypothetical example: If you are on the English Wikipedia and search for File:Animal, you will get 20,000 results. Many are from Commons but I am looking for a specific one I've seen before that I *know* was hosted locally.

Real life example/inspiration for bug report: I am a user of [[otrswiki:|OTRS wiki]]. Often times I search for locally uploaded files that I am unsure of the name on. I am bombarded with Commons files which makes finding the correct file extremely difficult.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

You can use the local keyword to do this, so this is resolved.
