Searching for file extensions

Curious, but if I search for "jpg" (with or without quotes) I always get Search failed/No matches found. Same if I search for "rar"...

bmp, mp3, wma, wmv, pdf, and others return some results.

What's up?

you cannot search by few frequent words alone (i remember about 10), you can use them in search expressions, but you also need at least one search word in such a way which would narrow the most common words so the number of results won't amount to almost whole usenet universe.
