You can use LAN Search Pro to search in your local area network using wildcards. The rules are the same as for MS-DOS and Windows. For example:
- s*.mp3 finds all MP3 files whose names start with s
- *.doc finds all files with the DOC extension
- music finds all files that contain music in their names, e.g. "my music", "MusicCool.wav" etc.
You can search using several wildcards at a time by separating them with semicolons.
