Go to Finder.
Choose command-F or choose File->Find.
You know how you can click the little plus signs to add more conditions?
Try clicking one with the Option key held down.
We'll explore more how this works as people try it.

And you can drag the conditions (Apple calls them predicates) right or left to make them equal to or sub-conditions.
So just with the GUI, using the Option key and the plus signs, you can make a Boolean Smart Folder that does something like
Name starts with "mpeg-"
AND
(Extension is "mpeg" OR Extension is "avi" OR Extension is "mp4")
OR
((File is system file) OR (File is alias))
