I can think of a few, though the SearchRec is not hard to use at all, so
is very easy to knock up exactly what you need.

Anyway, take a look at these:

  *  DoubleCmd (Double Commander) project
  *  See the "Iterator Pattern" article I wrote. You can very quickly
     adapt the regex iterator by feeding it SearchRec results and then
     filter out the output.
  *  In the fpGUI "core" code there is a cross-platform file searching
     class with filtering support. It is used to feed results into
     fpGUI's File Open/Save dialog.

I'm sure there are many more such examples.

Regards,
  Graeme
