Such is often the case with major-version releases.

That is not my experience at all. My filters (the ones you set in the bottom of
the Multi-File Search window, right?) all carried over. When I want a new one,
I pick New… from the popup menu; when I want to edit one, I select it in the
popup and click Edit…. My "Ruby files" filter says:
Any - {Ruby files}
File name [Ends with] .rb
File name [is] Rakefile
[OK]
I never get any file that does not match those criteria. My only complaint is
that it's easy to forget to switch filters when necessary. I seem to remember
that I couldn't get "File name extension" to work as I expected, but
name-ends-with did what I wanted, and I haven't tried the other way since.

I don't know what to tell you.

Inquire of [email protected]. I mail them so often that Mail.app
autocompletes their address as the first choice whenever I type "sup". They've
always been helpful, and except for the one time I let my frustration get the
better of me, cheerful.
One thing to consider: Might this be some kind of binary file that
text-processing code could interpret as having very long lines (like thousands
of characters)? Your filters, once they are working, should prevent that.
