I'm not sure why you get different results using version 6, however this query does not do what you would expect:
- the * wildcard can only be used as a word prefix or suffix; it can't be used alone to match any word
- using the | (or) operator inside a quoted string is not supported (in case the " character was part of your query)

With FoxTrot Pro version 7, to find all files in a specific folder you can use:
[all items of type] [any file or folder]
in: [your folder]

With FoxTrot Personal version 7, the nearest solution is:
[filename] [psd|tif|jpg|png|eps|pdf|tiff|gif]
in: [your folder]
