How do I search a filename in windows explorer

When I use the search box in windows explorer, it returns all files containing the search string either in the name of the file or in the contents of the file.

I would like to be able to search only the file name.

It would also be good to be able to search based on other properties like date, attribute etc.

I am using Windows 10.

This by far, the very best video I've ever seen on searching Win10 for files.
It goes from basic settings and searches to very advanced in 9 minutes. (Advanced Query Syntax)
