Windows 10: Searching for files names containing symbols

I have a folder containing files which I named with = in the name e.g. "Richmond Division====". They have anything from 1-6 ='s in the name. I want to be able to search for these files, say all the files with four ='s. When I try it comes up with no results. Is there a way of doing this?


Thanks

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.

 

Compare a text file containing file names with files in a folder


Hi,
I have a text files containing a list of file names and I wish to compare that to a folder with files in it.
The folder contains a rather large number of files and I want to see if files in that folder exist in the file with the list of file names.

Hope I have explained my problem clearly.

Would appreciate any help
Thanks

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
