Allow custom values in the Image Size filter on Commons search (Community Wishlist/W475)

Description

In c:Special:MediaSearch, the "Image size" dropdown menu should allow custom values.

The current value set of Large ending at &fileres=>1000 is ancient and absolutely insufficient to declutter the suggested files in any search related to high-scale illustrations. Please support processing custom and way larger numerical values for this.
