is it possible to 'find files' using more than one 'name matches' at the same time (i.e. multiple extension search), or - if not - can that be implemented?
Of course! Check out the find utility..
Multiple extensions can be done using wildcards.

The Search field uses Windows Search format, which I don't use enough to know off the top of my head.
For more complex cases, use the Find Files panel's Advanced mode.
