| | searching by filename I tried to do a search for *.zip and got zero results. I tried to do a search for 'yawnmoth' and that time got quite a few results, although not all of them make sense - in some cases, I got files like "IMG00032.jpg" back. 'yawnmoth' is clearly not in the filename and although the binary data may, coincidentally, happen to contain the string 'yawnmoth', I don't know why Windows is presuming to search for it. Or maybe it's in the meta information but I don't care about the meta information - all I want to do is find files whose name confirm to a certain pattern. |

| | Re: searching by filename In the search box type "Name:" (without the quotes) followed by all or part of the filename you are looking for.
