How to search for specific part of words in windows explorer? (Windows 11)

I was sorting a few folders with large number of files, so I thought of using find function in the folder to divide sets of projects. My issue is if I enter a prompt, search results only give the complete word.
example: I searched for "sets"

It will give results like: Bath-sets, Bath set, Room set, Sofa_set.
But won't give: Bathset, Roomsetting, Room layoutsetting.

Is there a way to get these results too? I tried google but it won't give answer easily, and I don't enough time to search deeply like always...

PS. This is my first time posting here so apologies for any mistake.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Try using this search criteria to see if that finds the correct files in File Explorer:

    *set*.*
