You just want to use the "name" moniker. What of the great improvements to Vista search is the ability to use additional parameters like "name", "fileextension" or any attribute that it can determine about the search result, like "from" for emails or anything. So to show you how I might look for filenames that you mention, because Vista by default will look at the content of the files, not the filenames specifically... here are some examples of stuff I might find in Vista Search Hell <br /><img src="http://whall.org/blog/files/vista-search-hell-1.jpg" /><br /> <br /><img src="http://whall.org/blog/files/vista-search-hell-2.jpg" /><br /> <br /><img src="http://whall.org/blog/files/vista-search-hell-3.jpg" /><br /> Hope this helps! <b>Evil Genius</b>, I think I fell in love with you a little. <b>sourpuss</b>, Yay! I'm glad to hear of your vista view and I'm even more glad that we share it. Avi, still not gay.

Alex, ok, maybe I’m 5% gay.

I only have luck finding files if I go into Advanced and turn on a bunch of things. XP and before did not have that flaw: it just searched without having to turn stuff on in "advanced" If anyone comes up with a useful search utility that uses *.*, *.??? etc, I'd love to see it.
