I found out that at windows folder search the letter dash "-" works as eliminating the following word from search results.
However i have files that contains dash "-"
So how can i filter them ?
For example i have image named as
"my-home"
But when i type as below nothing appears
Windows 8.1
At here it tells the following
Here’s a list of AQS operators that have to do with text searching:
NOT/- : Both “not” as well as prefixing a dash will tell your search to exclude items that include the following term.
AND/+ : Both “and” as well as prefixing a plus sign will force your search to only include items that match for both terms.
“” : Using quotes will force a search to filter for an exact phrase.
