Win 7 search box dumb question
-
Can someone explain to me why typing in "filename: CollectionsCaseStatus" in the win 7 explorer search box finds a file called CollectionsCaseStatusChange.csv yet "filename: CaseStatus" does not? It seems to be using a "starts with" type search rather than filename contains type search and its just took me probably 10 minutes trying to find a file. "filename: *CaseStatus" doesn't work either. Does anyone know what the correct wildcard character is or any other way to make it do a "filename contains" search? All the stuff I've found from searching on google is to do with searching contents of files or properties such as word document author names, etc.

Never mind, figured it out. The wildcard character is a double-asterisk rather than the usual single one. "filename: **CaseStatus" works

I *think* the default is to search the contents of each file.
