    What happened to XP's multiple file search


    Here's my situation: in one specific folder, I have stored about 4,000 NDS games, which all begin with a number, e.g. "4130 Puzzle Kingdoms (EU)(M5).nds". In XP, I was able to search for mulitiple files by entering this kind of search string: 0021, 0301, 1231, 4130 etc. All files beginning with the string between commas was then selected. In Win7, this doesn't seem to be possble anymore. Can anybody help, or maybe suggest an alternative search program?

    Let me first say that I highly doubt you own all those games. Don't pirate, or at least don't post here either indirectly or directly hinting towards piracy.

    Sure Fred, and I bet that you're holier than the pope himself. If you don't wanna answer, just don't, ok?

    Typing this: "0021 OR 0301 OR 1231 OR 4130" (without quotes) does not pull multiple files?

    Polar Monk, those kinds of comments are uncalled for. Try and be a little more polite next time, ok?

    You used OR as it correct? not a lower case "or" right?
