    Search in One Drive: for file names with two word in it?


    I need to be able to search for files/documents in my collection that have two words in their name. For example: the search result should yield only 1 or 2 or 3 files with both words "wealth" and "health" in their name and NOT list 20 or 30 files with only one of those search words in their names.Is there a guideline to specify search requests for better results?Thank you!

    :)

  2. Searching for files with names containing the searched word, not just starting with the word.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about searching for the content on Windows.

    I suggest you to Run Search and Indexing Troubleshooter
    and check.

    If you're having problems locating specific files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the Search and Indexing troubleshooter to fix the problem. It makes sure that the Windows Search service is running, and checks
    to see whether you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.

    Follow the steps given below to run Search and Indexing Troubleshooter.

    • Type Troubleshooting in the
      Search box from the desktop.
    • Select the Troubleshooting option.
    • Select View All option and select the
      Search and Indexing.
    • Click on Next to perform the
      Search and Indexing troubleshooter and follow the steps.

    Also, type the entire name of the file and check if it results the same.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

  3. Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

    Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

    I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

    Thanks, again.

  4. Search in One Drive: for file names with two word in it?

    Searching for files with names containing the searched word, not just starting with the word.

    Searching for files with names containing the searched word, not just starting with the word.

    Basically I'm searching a textures folder for any files with a name containing "Glasses"

    Whenever I search "Glasses" it pull up files like

    Glasses_M.dds

    Glasses_d.dds

    GlassesHorned_d.dds

    However when I look through them manually I've found files like

    FancyGlasses_d.DDS

    Because "Glasses" isn't the first word in that file it doesn't come up in search....

    Q: How do I do a search for everything containing the phrase and not just the files that start with the phrase?

    Thanks for any and all help
