Search query too narrow. "Exact word/phrase" only and not "Contains"

Recently I was getting confused and frustrate that files I were searching for weren't being included in the search results for my queries. It seems that the search parameters are restricted to "Exact word/phrase" and not "Contains.

Example: search "Broad", comes up fine
Search "road", nothing comes up.

In windows 7, I was able to search for a word and the search parameters would include files that "contains" the word in its name and even "contains" the word in a document.

In windows 10, it seems to be completely restricted to.

Someone at Microsoft Forums suggested Windows search troubleshooter (acknowledging that there is a problem), but the troubleshooting came up with nothing.

If I use search and click on my stuff, it finds all instances of a word inside documents etc.

O_O that actually did not occur to me. As far as I can tell, you were right. It seems to work the way it should so long as you use the "My Stuff" option! I tested it out to search for a document that has a certain word within the document, not the title, and it actually found it! Thank you!!

Any way to give you credit or kudos on this forum?

So glad that helped. I think the more you play around with windows 10 the more there is hidden.
