Hi all,
i just read some tutorials on the search function:
Windows Search - Configure and Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/21310-search-find-more-filters-operators.html
because, even if i extensively used it and quite master it i thought i am missing something,
the new windows 8.1 windows serach is giving me strange results, or no results sometimes.
This is the example: in a directory i have severl video (mp4) file that are numbered like gopr00xx.mp4
I tried a search with two numbers (eg.69) it finds nothing, the file gopr0069.mp4 is there but it cannot ind it.
I tried with system.filename:~=69, and it found it
How couldit be? Why it doesn't find a file with a simple partial part of the file name?
It seems that it doesn't find partial matches and here:

brink suggest to set the folder options, but i don't have the partial matche s box
Thanks for your help
