How do I pipe error messages?

Greetings,

I would like to direct the output from one command into another. I tried this:

dir /a-d /b | findstr /c:"File Not Found"

However, error messages ("File Not Found") are not redirected into the second command (findstr).

I thought maybe this would help:

2>&1

I just don't know where I would put it.

Thanks,
Shane.
