Windows 10: Windows Explorer Search always fails

If we enter, say, a title which is approximate to a book I have saved in a large directory with many folders, Explorer's search function upper right, top produces useless results.
Example:
Enter a book title, in this case the title is "There is no outside"...

The search result, every file in the directory that has the word "is" in it comes up, with "is" highlighted. Then, every item, no matter what language it is in, comes with "no" highlighted. In this case, a number of items with Spanish in them come up: "nos" a reflexive pronoun prior to a verb comes up with no but not the s in the word highlighted.

How can this possible produce any meaningful results? Do you have any files that do not contain "is" or "no"? I didn't inquire for "all files containing "is" or "no"... I queried a phrase "There is no outside" which is a book title, and would be part of the file name as well. If I knew the precise file name, I don't suppose I would need Search.
Thousands of results. None of them are the file I seek.


Help, please?

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing.
