Windows Search for exact filename and extension only

While searching for Windows.h, I discovered some rather annoying search behaviour on Windows 10. Rather than being presented with a single result of Windows.h, I was presented with an entire laundry list of files with "Windows" in them and "h" in them, which is not what I wanted. Searching for "Windows.h" did not help.

How can I search for Windows.h and receive only files with exactly that name?

Have you considered that your doesn't have a file named Windows.h that's typically only on a pc with the appropriate SDK installed

I have attached a picture that shows that Windows.h is present, but I do not want to see all of the other results.

If you want to match only filenames and not file contents, you can qualify the search with name: like:

name:Windows.h

If you want an exact filename match, you can qualify the search with name:= like:

name:=Windows.h
