Have you tried the File|Search facility in File Manager?

If you change the starting point to the root of a drive (i.e., C:\*.ext, or
C:\file.*, or whatever) and check the "Search all subdirectories" box, it
does the same thing WITHOUT VBRUNx00; I dunno about search speed, but it
does the job.

Also, the resulting window can be used as a drag and drop source, just like
a normal drive window (if View|All File Details is checked, it also shows
the size, date, time, and attributes).

Of course it won't search for text inside files, but there's always gnu
grep...
