K. I've extracted all the bmps from the half-life folder for a project i'm undertaking, and trying to organize them by filename. I started, searching for everything with a fift in the filename and copy and pasted to a subfolder called fifties.
Only problem is it only recognizes those that begin with "fif..." and ignores anything with any sort of prefix such as: -0, -1, etc. Shouldn't the search yield anything with a fift in the filename, regardless of whether it's at the beginning or not?! I can't find any options in "Advanced" search either...

fift
- is a wildcard in windows search and can stand for anything.

Awesomeness! I've never known wildcards could be used in that way; i've only ever used them for file extensions. Thanks! = )
