On my old Win 10 machine, I could search name:[string], where [string] is the characters I want to appear somewhere in the filename.
When I try this search syntax now, I get "Working on it..." but nothing ever gets returned.
If I search for just [string], I get all the files that contain that string somewhere in the filename OR contents. Checking or unchecking 'File contents' under 'Search options' doesn't make any difference - I get the same number of hits. That seems wrong, or maybe the 'File contents' toggle is supposed to do something else?
How can I get a list of files that have a string appearing somewhere in the filename regardless of file contents?
