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.

You need to UNTICK the File Contents option

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)
