Can I search to XP way?

I'm finding the search (under the start menu) function somewhat limited. In
XP, I could specify the file type and now it seems more generic. I was
trying to find a specific video and realized, I can no longer search for
videos. Also, I can't search for specific file types, like Excel worksheets.
Does anyone know of a way to do this, or of a Vista compatible freeware
program that will help with the search functions?

Thanks,
Dan
 
Hi,
Probably not what you're asking for, but wildcard search still works.
Example: *.xls will find all xls files. Sorting those results by Date
modified or Size may help a little more.

Agent Ransack appears to work in Vista (I've given it a short trial) but
doesn't extend the search capabilities that much.

Hope this helps,
