Windows 10: Searching with Photos in Windows 11 - only searches filename

It doesn't look like searching for photos in the Photos app works as well as just using Windows Explorer. I've added Title and Description metadata to many photos in OneDrive but when I search for them in Photos, it only seems to search the file name. Windows Explorer does the job but I like the Photos app interface a bit better. Does anyone know if that functionality is coming to Photos any time soon?

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.

Search for part of a filename

Thank you for replying. However, the issue is not resolved.

1. The same problem exists regardless of which folder I am in and exists when I search a USB drive as well.

2. I ran the Troubleshooter but am still experiencing the same problem.

3. In Indexing Options I had already added the local drive to the index. The folder containing the pictures has a check in the checkbox. (The exceptions listed for the local drive are: ProgramData; App Data; App Data; Windows.)

Did you try to search for part of a filename (ie. the "xyz" from "aaaxyzbbb.txt") using Windows 10? Does it work for you? Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Only text from the beginning of the filename is located.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
