specify files to search.
* - substitutes any part of the filename (*.txt means all files that have .txt extension)

Various combinations of wildcards can be used (e.g. East??.* or *.tx?)

You may use the following logical expressions:


1) "filename1" "filename2" - search for filename1 or filename2
2) "filename1" +"filename2" - search for filename1 and filename2
3) "filename1" -"filename2" - search for filename1 and not filename2
Example: -"*.doc" - search for all files except Word documents
