I would like to echo this request.
I use Windows 8.1 and what I found to be a very useful feature is the search tool. In the explorer window, I type a particular string in the [Search this PC] field and recursively find all files that match the string.
What would be amazing additional functionality is bulk renamer being able to to create a virtual drive with all of the search results.
I'll give you a real life example.
I am what you call a obsessive compulsive digital cataloguer. I like my graphics and my audio files on my computer looking neat and tidy. I've found that if stuff isn't tidy, I lose track of it and will ultimately completely forget about it. What this means is I'm constantly looking for better ways to name my files and directories. Initially, I was using the artist name - song name convention but I decided after the fact that I wanted to see bit rate as well in the file name. So what this means is I have to manually go back into every directory I've altered up to now and change the file name to artist name - song name - bit rate. Quite a pain in the ass.
I have found that MediaMonkey is a fantastic tool to accomplish what I want to accomplish with my audio files. It has support for RegExp extensions which is awesome. However, I can't do graphics with Media Monkey which is where Bulk Renamer shines.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. I find this tool one of the best I've come across and I thank you for your continued support on it.
