Vista - Finding different file types in Vista

I am trying to find all jpg and txt files in a series of folders on a
particular drive.

Therefore I would pick the drive to ensure it scoured all folders to be
sure.

If I type in Search jpg...it finds (all) jpg's....and if I type in txt, it
finds (all) txt files

What syntax do I use to ask it to search for both sets at the same time...so
it will list both sets rather than one type at once?

In XP - I would have typed *.jpg;*.txt (searching drive F - I have also
tried jpgANDtxt too...

But none of the various methods seem to work in Vista for me.....anyone?

Is there a particular site that details all the search functions and gives
lots of examples?

I really find Vista Search difficult to use...and it very rarely find the
exact files I require. So I put that down to my incompetance...for now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

FG

OR, not AND.

In other words, *.jpg OR *.txt

Try,

name:jpg OR name:txt
in the search box

note spacing around OR
without the name: it would return files that also contained the strings jpg
or txt

(AND requires that the file be/contain BOTH jpg and txt at the same time)
