Search for a file name in a weird way

[vsub]

First,is this a bug or that's expected...maybe because I am doing it the wrong way
Match path is not selected but everything is giving me folder names while Audio filter is selected

""D:\Games\Final Fantasy\World Of Final Fantasy\Soundtrack\WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY - The Dragon Scars.wav""

Search string is "\s c h" without quotes and those in read are marked
What am trying to find is a file name that contains those 3 letters and the file name starts with s then I don't know if the next letter is "c" but it is somewhere after the "s" and it could be after the "s" or after some other letter and somewhere after the "c" there is an "h",again,it can be the next letter

The actual file name is schlachtschiff.mp3 but no matter what I try,I never get results only of filenames that starts with "s" and I also cannot find the file unless I type "\sch"

\S will match a file name starting with S, & also a directory path part starting with S.

s* c h

will find filenames that start with an S & also contain a c & h
^-That may also depend on your setting of, Tools | Options | General -> Search --> Match whole filename when using wildcards
(You can also use wfn:s* [or nowfn:s*] depending on those settings.)
(And there are some other nuances in there too .)

s* c h - find the file but it also showed results where the matching letters are part of the folder name
For example schlachtschiff.mp3 marked all of the letters but it also marked the "c" letter from the folder name

When I set the filter to Everything,it shows all files and folders that start with "s" and only those that contains c and h somewhere in the path name
Some files contains only s and h in the name and the c is part of the folder name

My point was to display only filenames(not folders)that contains those letters(if that's possible)

Something like search only for file names

Click the Search menu and un-check Match Path.

If you do not want Folder objects in the search results at all, use either of these verbs somewhere in your search query.

files: or nofolders: or !folders:

You can also add a search filter named Files under Search > Organize Filters.

Read my first post,that option is disabled
Also using files: is the same thing as selecting the audio filter
Folder names are still criteria to find the file

[therube]

but it also showed results where the matching letters are part of the folder name

I'm not seeing that?

And there are some other nuances in there too

That too. See if wfn: (or not) is mattering to you.

What is the search term you're using & what are you expecting & what are you getting?

In the last shot, I've enabled PATH.

Does the following search help:

file: s* c h

-or-

file: startwith:s c h
