Search GUS by content type!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a nice update on GUS. After some discussion
with sloum, I decided to put some time into better support for content
types.

Content types been being printed alongside search results for a few
weeks already, but I'm happy to announce that as of today you also get
first-class support for them in your queries! There is documentation
for how to use them at gemini://gus.guru/about, along with a number of
useful content types to try out, like audio, image, and text.

One of my favorite so far is `audio`. You could search for, say,
`content_type:audio` to find ALL music in Geminispace, or `dogs
content_type:audio/mp3` to find some good songs about dogs in mp3
format.

Thank you for all the feedback on this project so far. I still have a
nice list of TODOs for GUS, mostly due to conversations with other
Geminauts.

Hi Natalie,

This is a great addition to GUS, thanks very much!  I hadn't realised
there was as much audio content on Gemini already as there is.

I'm really pleased that search for Gemini is already lightyears ahead of
where it is for Gopherspace, despite Gopherspace having a head start of
several decades!

Looking forward to further development of GUS.

Cheers,
Solderpunk
