Search without input query but simply with filters such as "spreadsheets"

When I want to search for something with just the type filter, it won't let me select filters for the search, BUT I don't know the name of the file, I only want the search to display all spreadsheets for me, it won't work, see below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it forces me to enter a query to use the filter...

Which is stupid because I don't know the name of the spreadsheet files

    How many hours of development does it take to add the option to search for filters without an input query? Can you estimate the effort?
