| | search That is what I searched for. "extract*.mpg" You all the other Mpg not of the same name but still an mpg file the extension does not show. Am I reading the wrong thing? looks like he said extract*mpg |

| | Oh, the file name is "extract". I think the search is reading the <*> as a wildcard. try it with out that. |

I have no idea why the other files are turning up, but at least this way it's restricting the search to file names only and not any internal data, such as tags and descriptions. |
