It may be because of the spaces. Try putting double quotes around the entire name.

Oh - good call. So, that's it. When I first read your post, I am saying, wait - I have done successful searches with spaces... what gives here? It's the presence of the hyphens. Hyphens are fine; spaces are fine. But the two together are not.

mom label-Copy

Win can find that ^

mom label - Copy

But it can't find that ^

In order to find the file named as the second entry, I need to enter into the search field :

"mom label - Copy"

I wonder if that's a bug, or if it's designed like that on purpose.

In any event, thank you.
