Simple friggin' task for Google Desktop Search

[HeaterCore]

All I'm trying to do is get Google Desktop to generate a list of the photographs I've taken with my digital camera. Shouldn't be hard -- each and every filename begins with the letters "DSCF", followed by four numbers. All are JPGs.

So I figured the query "DSCF*" or "DSCF*.JPG" would do the trick. Maybe "DSCD!"

Nope. Google doesn't recognize those modifiers.

Is there some way to do this?

The * modifier is what Google doesn't understand. If you include the * or ! in quotes it will search for exactly that character and no others. If you search for DSCF, Google will automatically return all entries that begin with those letters without the need for any other modifiers.
