I can't find a file I need, and when I search for "job", windows
includes every freaking file in ever freaking DIRECTORY which has
those three letters in them.
forty eleven Cat pictures - because they are in the directory
Jobby!
something having to do with the flowers because the directory
contains "jobola"

How, or is it even possible, to get Windows to just search for
"job" in filenames.

This is one more thing which Windows 7 does, which I do not recall
Win XP not doing.

Yes, I'm furious, I'm out of time and the presentation is not going to
happen.


Thanks to all for all the alternate program recommendations.

I did find that by entering "filename:job" I can get just the
files with job in the name, without the directories, or files with
"job" inside them.

I sometimes still wonder what these people are "thinking" when
they set up these search default results. N.B. "sometimes". Sometimes
I don't think much about anything.

Wait until you get into regex and SQL queries.

regex - odd, but not a problem

SQL - now that's just weird.
