Windows 10: File manager search parameters - parenthesis and dots.

Hello all!

It seems like I'm missing something basic here and I have problem finding the answer:


How do I force search parameters in File Explorer in order to match parenthesis or DOT character? Is there any escape character or wildcard?


Picture 1: From the list of files in the directory 'New Folder' I want to extract the files containing (3)

It seems like the parenthesis are ignored. First list shows file without parenthesis.


Picture 2: Similar issue happens to the DOT character. Last file in the results does not contain string '3.'

On Picture 2 ( search for 3. )there is no file 123.12.txt --- Is incorrect output shown in the search-ms:displayname ?


Picture 3: New Folder contents.


I can't find a reference to the rules of creating these parameters or wildcards.

Am I doing something wrong?

Picture 3:

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid
