I once used LogParser, a package provided freely by MS. It provides a CLI and COM interface that allow virtually any kind of query, search etc on the windows file system and much more. I use it for parsing the windows event viewer records and log all big print jobs and some other stuff, but it also allows running queries on the file system using wild cards like you want. Queries are much like SQL. Maybe you could give it a try...
