OK, but is this a search for filenames in a directory?
To elaborate, before Spotlight was called Spotlight, it was named Find
By Content. There's a difference between looking for words within files
and looking at what the files are named. Searching for words means one
has to look for actual words, not partial strings of chars within them.
I don't know if the Finder search pictured above is a function provided
by Spotlight or not... I rather doubt it is, though.
