How can I convince the Vista search function to simply look for all files
whose names match a wildcard?

Search Companion (Windows XP and earlier) allows me to search for files
whose names tightly match a set of wildcard criteria. For example, if I
enter

*.exe; *.obj; *.msi

into the "All or part of the file name" box then Search Companion finds
those files and none others. However, if I do the equivalent under Vista
(or Windows Search 4 on XP) and enter

*.exe OR *.obj OR *.msi

then it finds many files whose names contain "exe" (for example
"MyFile.exe.config") and files whose contents contain "exe", "obj", or
"msi".
