Windows 10: File Explorer, Filename:, Search

On my OneDrive for Business folder, I use "Ctrl + E" to search for a file using the "filename:" function, making it easy to access. It does not allow me to retrieve it in search results for certain files. I tried to rename the file, but it did not appear in the search results. If I can create a new file, name it the same and I can see the file in search results. I can simply recreate the files and name them, but I do not know which ones are the problem. I thought this had to do with Office 365, but I can search the file online and retrieve the file in search results. They also did the investig

Searching for a string within a filename in File Explorer

I want to search a folder for filenames that contain the word "Committee". When in File Explorer, I type "Committee" into the Search field and hit enter. It finds (highlights in yellow) files that start with "Committee" but not the ones where "Committee"
is embedded in the file name. For example:

• "Committee-Mission-Roles-and-Responsibilities" = finds it and highlights "Committee" in yellow
• "19510701ListClubCommitteesReportDirectorsBW" = Lists this file but does not highlight "Committee" in yellow
• "20150526MinutesBoard" = Lists this file because the word "Committee" is in the text of the file.

Is there a way to do a search that lists only filenames that contain the word "Committee"? I don't want files listed if the word "Committee" is not part of the filename.

Inaccurate search for filenames in File Explorer

I use ~<22 in File Explorer to search for images with filenames starting with '22' (the year they were taken). Some images whose file names do not start with '22' are included in the result. They are of File Type 'Adobe Photoshop Image.22'

Is there a way to prevent these files from appearing in the search result?

I have Adobe Photoshop Version: 22.5.8 20220609.r.998 0740d07 x64 with Windows10
