Windows - search for files by name only

Question

Windows can create an index on the directory, which allows you to search for strings in the contents of files. But then it always searches the contents of files, and when I search for a file that I know its name contains "1213", it returns me 5,000 files as a search result. It is true that those files that have "1213" in the title and not in the content are framed, but they cannot be sorted in any way. Of course, it is possible to turn off and delete the index, but sometimes it is useful to search the contents of files and it takes an hour to create them. It sounds stupid, but I'm ashamed to ask such a clear thing on a professional forum and I don't even know what I should look for in existing tutorials and answers, because everyone asks how to search in content and not how NOT to search in content.

Answer 1

if you are already indexing, un index the content. right-click on the drive / properties to cancel the "pipe" for indexing i "... in addition to the file properties also the content" do so for all disks. or cancel indexing completely: Control Panel / Programs and Features / Enable or disable Windows features "uncheck Indexing Service (Windows Search) (smoking) between us: why you use to search for files explorer who, we admit, is impractical. working with files - for example, totalcommander, in which you can also select various filters / masks when searching, also search archives, etc., including searching the contents of files when you need it. turn off.
