Filter data inside a SharePoint library folders and sub folders

Dear

I have a SharePoint 2010 document library which store many folders and files. Inside each folders there are sub folders then files etc. and now my issues that because of huge data in this library and I implemented the filter by text web part but this filter not showing data inside the folders.

Let me explain clearly:

I have a folder called 'Adjustments' inside another sub folder called 'Adjustment 2012' inside again another sub folder called 'Adjustment January' then all the files related to this folder.
In the same way, I have another folder called 'Finance Files' inside another sub folder called 'Finance 2012' inside again another sub folder called 'Finance January' then all the files related to this folder.
Now I made a view (standard view) with filter condition where name is equal to 'Adjustments'. and when i browse this view i can see only the folder 'Adjustments' with out any sub folders or files. Here I need the see the all folders and files inside of this main folder Adjustments. How i can achieve this?

Hi,
the filter is exactly working as designed. As you set "Name" equals "Adjustments" only that folder is displayed as all other elements do not match.
If you change the filter to "Contains" then you should see the subfolders, and files if they have "Adjustments" in their name.
