Searching Files in Windows 10
I just recently started using windows 10. When I search for a word in a file name, it either finds some of the files that have that word in the name or none at all when I know there are other files that have that word. Is this normal with windows 10 or is there a setting that I need to modify to correct this issue? I never had this problem with my last OS, which was win XP.

Windows Search has always been junk. It leaves out some files Microsoft doesn't want you to find, and doesn't find much. There are better alternatives:
Search Everything:

JDC2000, I apologize for the delay in replying back. I was away for the holidays. Which one on that list would you recommend?

It really depends on your needs, but I would start with Search Everything form voidtools. Try that one and post back if you are still not finding files that you know are there and should be found.
