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.
For more advanced search tips:
6*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...
I found that (name:~='your name') and (name:~= 'your name') and (filename:* 'your name') would not work form me
BUT I stored file by NUMERALS
However (* your numerical) does- Even for a part match
i.e. file = 123456789 Search (*5678) does the job
Hope this helps
0This did the trick for me (search for all files that contain the word 'subaru' and 'v2' in the file name : - System.FileName:~=(subaruv2)
Other example (search for all files that contain the word 'subaru' with the extension '.html' : - System.FileName:~=(subaru.html)
