Searching for duplicate files in Vista not working properly

In XP I was able to search for the pattern: (1; (2; (3; (4; (5; (6; (7; (8; (9 and it displayed a list of ALL duplicate files. Now of course in Vista it doesn't work. Why do they screw EVERYTHING up they touch? sheesh... Anyway, Now, even if I try (?), (1*, or any other combination I can think of it display ANY file with a "1" in it regardless if it is a dupe or not. is there ANY way to just search for xxx(1).xxx thru xxx(9).xxx? Thanks for any help and if any sees Bill Gates, please slap him for me.
