Default A better file search tool

Is there a better file search tool than the one that comes with Win98?

I want one that will search by the file extension. For example, I
want to find a file containing the word "beatles" and want only the
.MP3 files. In the built in "finder", when I go to "Advanced", it
wants me to specify what program is used for MP3 files. Which in my
case, I have numerous programs that play music. There must be some
add-on utility that allows for simply searching for a word and the
added file extension.


For general searches, AgentRansack is good.

For mp3 specific searches, an MP3 datbase program would be good. There are
many, some good, some less so. Some much less so.

I happen to like MP3Stock because it is fast and builds a minimally sized
database. It is old, seems to be no longer supported but still available;
however, it is tied to Winamp. It works very well with Winamp, is useless
otherwise.

That is a direct downlad of a zip from a website I used to have. It still
works. Reas the readme in the zip for info.

If you have qualms about a direct d/l, go here...
