That's easy in Windows File Explorer. Type Ctrl+F, then *.jpg, then Enter. Wait for the search to finish. Type Ctrl+A to Select All, then Ctrl+X to Cut. Then go to the target folder, in the same or a different File Explorer, and Ctrl+V to Paste.
Someone who isn't familiar with the keyboard shortcuts can do the same with the mouse. Either way, if they have ever edited a document and done something similar with cutting and pasting text, there is nothing new to learn except understanding that the same steps work in File Explorer.
It also works in the default file manager in Ubuntu with minor changes: don't hit Enter after typing the search text, do click in the result list before the Ctrl+A.
