      The “Find in all open documents” button is helpful, and I was wondering if there was a plugin or a way to limit the search to documents whose filename matches a certain pattern,
      For example
      *.bas;*.vbs
      would only look in .bas and .vbs files that are open, and
      *.*;NOT:*.ini;*.nfo
      would look in all open files EXCEPT *.ini and *.nfo files.

      Any help appreciated.

        If you want to filter which files are searched, the expectation was to use Find in Files rather than the Find feature’s Find in All Opened Documents command – and that Find in Files does have a filter syntax described in the hover text and in more detail at npp-user-manual.org in the section “Find in Files”
