Hello
I am trying to search all files with the extension of txt(readme.txt for example) under the folder names which include blue.
So,
bluemoon\hello.txt
blue ocean\list.txt
and so on.
Additonally, it would be more useful if I could search all the descendants(children, and children of children and so on):
bluemoon\blahblah\hello.txt
blue ocean\foobar\list.txt
Is there a simple way to search them?
search specific files with some pattern under some folder?

Thanks but why two asterisks before the extension?

* = match any character (except \) any number of times
** = match any character any number of times
For Everything 1.4, * is the same as **
With Everything 1.5+, * will only match txt files directly in a folder containing blue
Also the following search on Everything 1.5 might be helpful:
parentname:blue .txt
** = match any character any number of times
For Everything 1.4, * is the same as **

Also the following search on Everything 1.5 might be helpful:
parentname:blue .txt
