Solution
This is what I do on my Videos folder...........
1. Open Videos folder > click View > click Details.
2. View > Sort By > Choose Columns. This is my columns setup......( see screenshot)
3. View > Group By > select Extensions.
This is how the setup finally looks like.
I'll also recommend Agent Ransack again.
Just download and install it and it will add the search command to the right click drop down and give you options to search using various search criteria.
