Notepad++ Find in Files Filters

When using Notepad++ Find in Files feature is there a way to adjust the filter, so that it will search more than one filetype (e.g. *.c and *.h)?

Answer [by Beaner]: Notepad++ Find in Files Filters

Separate multiple filters with a semi-colon (;).

*.txt ; *.log

Or you can just use a space

*.txt *.log

How to search inside files on Windows 7?

In Windows XP we can search for files that contain a defined keyword (inside all files types).

Windows 7 can look inside files for a keyword, but only for text files. (*.doc, *.txt, *.inf, ...), not (*.conf, *.dat, *.*, ...).

Microsoft search filters don’t contain any filter I can use for this.

How is this possible?
