Multi-file search, thousands

Hello everyone, I have 80 million jpg files and I want to find 30 thousand files among these files.
The file names I want to search are 1234, 34234, 45943. The searched file names are dsf_3245.jpg, fg_1234_sf_jpg. like
I do this with rgex, but it supports up to 300 filenames and more program crashes.
Do I have a chance to write these file names in a txt file and search 30 thousand files at the same time?

Could you please send a
mini crash dump when Everything crashes?
Everything 1.5 will have
file list slots, allowing you to search for millions of filenames.
To export filenames from Everything:
- In Everything, from the File menu, click Export....
- Change save as type to TXT Text Files (*.txt)
- Choose a filename and click Save.

Thank you for the mini crash dumps cool.leeward,
Both dumps show Everything building an IShellItem for each filename to be used with a system call to IFileOperation.
This will take a very long time if you are deleting 10,000+ files.
Everything should unfreeze once this is done.
I put on my TODO list to show a progress bar if this takes longer than 1 second..

Thanks for the quick reply.
I think it's not the wipe feature of windows, it is necessary for "everything" like "total commander" to use its own wipe module.
I believe you can do this in the best way possible.
