In Windows Explorer, I would like to search for all files in a specific folder and its subfolders with the file extension .doc. To do that, I tried to enter .doc in the search bar on the top right of the window. That gave me as a result all the files containing doc, not necessarily with that file extension, including folders named "doc".
In Windows XP, there was if I remember correctly something to only search for one file type, but I can't find anything like that in Windows 7.
How to only search for files with a specific file extension and not other files which contain that extension in their name?

Have unchecked the "Hide extensions for known file types" in Folder Options? Then when you can search for a certain file with a specific extension. – alljamin – 2016-08-20T09:06:32.463
