searching C: for more then one item

I want to search my root C: for about 50 differently named programs with no size limits.
In "search you can only do one a time. I was thinking about the command line? But could find nothing for this.
Any help is appreciated.

You can do searches like *.jpg that would find all files that have the extension of jpg...

Can search for ABC*.* that would find all files that start with ABC...

Or ???ABC - this would ignor the first three letter and find files whose forth/fifth/sixth letter are ABC...
