Please log in for more thread options
file:"sc.exe" will find files of that name
filename:"sc.exe" will do the same.
Of course, that will also find files with same name that are contained as
attachments. To prevent that you can:
store:file filename:"sc.exe"
Another way is to do all files with a particular extension:
ext:exe
Mind you, you have to enable searching of *.exe files, which is not done by
default. Change the options to remove the .exe extension from the types of
files that are not indexed.
