How do You Search for Multiple File Types at the Same Time in Windows 8?

Today’s SuperUser Q&A post comes to the rescue for one reader’s file search dilemma.

I know there are hundreds of these file types in the parent directory and sub-directories though.

How can I do a search like this in Windows 8 that returns results?

Is there an easy way for Sebastien to search for multiple file types at the same time?

For example, to search for text files you should punch in *.txt.

For multiple file types use Ext:.doc OR Ext:.txt OR Ext:.pdf.

Hope this helps you.
