Basic, Intuitive Searching/Find? How about it?

I want to search for terms in a filename, such as any files that contain the
word "red" or the term "736"

How would I do this?
I tried "red OR 736" in simple search and messed around with some things in advanced search/find
but got nothing as I wanted it. :(

It uses RegExp, so try

Code: Select all

(red|736)

Ok.

But what about "AND"?
From what I understand there is no simple equivalent to it in RegEx.
Is there a way to do it in a 'fairly simple' way?

Why can't the program be made to support both RegExp and Boolean, aren't there others programs that do?

Thanks

key1.*key2

Code: Select all

key1 + key2
