You can filter by type of variable only:

In [7]: a = 'hello'

In [8]: b = 100

In [9]: whos
Variable   Type    Data/Info
----------------------------
a          str     hello
b          int     100

In [10]: whos str
Variable   Type    Data/Info
----------------------------
a          str     hello
