titleSearching for Attachments

When searching for attachments by name, the file extension is considered part of the last word in the name.  So, entering answerstest will not bring up answerstest.docx because answerstest is not the full string.   To retrieve this attachment, you must use answerstest.docx or the wildcard character (so a partial string matches):  answerstest*
