Doesn't the "Find..." menu option in the Finder do this for you already?

You can get all this information by selecting "Find..." from the File
menu, clicking on "More Choices", and selecing your search criteria.

Click on "all at once" in the Find dialog.  Then all the files which
match your criteria will be selected in a hierarchical list view based
in the root window of the volume on which you're searching.  Listed by
each file, as usual, will be its kind, date modified, size, and so
forth.

No need!  It's build right into the System 7.0 Finder.  Ain't Macs great?  ;)
