How can I search multiple files in XP without typing the files in? It seems
impossible to copy and paste my filenames in the find dialogue

(e.g test.txt, test1,txt,test2,)

Click to expand...

How about using a wild card like test*.txt?

You also might like the free third-party search tool Agent Ransack. It
is far superior to XP's searching ability. I install it on all my XP
boxen.

As Malke said. If not, type each file name separated by a semicolon.

Examples:

filename1;filename2;filename3
defrag.bat;deskband*;boot.ini
