    I know this question is redundant, but related threads seem to be locked. Please link any open related ones for visibility.This is a problem I have had at multiple workplaces. The current office I'm encountering it at is on Windows 10 Pro. When you search for files in a folder and its subfolders, certain files will show up when you enter a few characters that appear in their names, but if you enter larger strings from their file names, the same files will not show up.Here is one example I tried out today:Searching "C 11 24" returns a file with the string "Courtesy 11-13-24" in its file name.Ho
