Better file search utility

Hello!

I'm looking for a better file search utility for Windows XP, something that
allows me to use boolean expressions, e.g.:

File has extension '.MP3' or '.WMA' AND NOT have "INCOMPLETE" in the
filename.
This would help me filtering my music downloads (I put them on a single
folder to burn CD's).

Any suggestion?

How about, deleting all the Incomplte ones first. <g>. I`m joking of course,
but I bet someone will get back to you.

I ended doing this:

- Copy all files (My Documents\My Music\Incomplete) to the folder (C:\All
Music)
- In Command prompt, change dir to C:\All Music and DEL INCOMPLETE~*.mp3

Quick and dirty hack but works, I will look at other stuff.
