Search partial filenames in windows explorer
I'm attempting to search part of a filename in windows explorer, but unless the part of the name I search for is at the very beginning or is separated by spaces or underscores, it fails to match. For example, a file named HelloWorld.java will match a search of hello
, but not world
. *world
fails as well.
Is there a native solution to this?
Using this keyword and searching for "world": name:~=world
will do the trick.

*world*
, the extension is part of what it runs the match against.
With name:
you can use ~~world
.
Try a simple wildcard search *
So your search would be *world
Wildcard search should pull up any partial matches however won't highlight the result in the file name. A lot simpler than typing out the other searches...
