I open the "Find in Files" dialog, and I want to search for multiple file types (*.css, *.php, etc). I've tried the following formats, but they don't work. What is the correct method for specifying multiple file types here? Thanks.

*.css, *.php
*.css,*.php
*.css *.php
*.css; *.php

It should be semicolon separated, I just checked and this worked for me:

Text: cheese
Folder: c:\test
Files: *.bagel;*.chips

It could be the space in your last filter causing the problem?

Yeah, it appears that whitespace in the field causes the search results to be empty.
Perhaps the whitespace can be trimmed out so entering it doesn't paralyze the search?
Perhaps also allow commas or other separators in addition to the semicolon.
