Attachment filter
Would be great if we had the ability to filter for a specific type of attachment, e.g. PDF, .doc, etc.
Currently, when trying to search for an attachment, search results will populate any type of attachment, such as an signature. This can make it very hard to find specific documents/attachments in a chain of emails, which might have attached email signatures on every single incoming and outgoing email.

I need filter for searching letters with text/calendar attachments to resend them to technical mail to other calendar provider.

So, I am looking for an attachment that someone sent. I know who sent it, but I can't find it. Why? Because, I have gotten hundreds of email from this person in many threads.
REQUEST 1: make it easy to see messages within a thread that have attachments and which threads at the top level have messages that have attachments. There is no symbol stating that a particular thread may have messages that contain attachments. And there is no easy way to see if a message within a thread has an attached.
REQUEST 2: add "has attachment" to the advanced search widget. Right now, I have to ensure I have a filter that labels messages with an attachment as "has-attachment" and then search that label. Whether a message contains an attachment or not is a basic search criteria. Please add it.
Thanks!

It would be even better if we could search for an attachment by file name (whole or part)

I've decided to vote for the feature, BUT only if it includes what I really want/need (in addition to the above), which is the ABILITY TO FILTER BY ATTACHMENT SIZE (OR ELSE SORT BY IT).
