So (int the context of the bug report) the programmer has no chance to do it

What is the reason for doing this?

Not exactly.
User supplies SomeMask
FileSearcher does FF/FN with AllFilesMask and filters output with SomeMask.
It currently is the only way to do a filesearch with multiple masks
('*.jpg;*.png;*.bmp').

ewww... why not break the masks out into three (for the given example) separate FF/FN runs and stuff the results into the same TStringList (removing duplicates of course) or whatever the results are returned in?
