    Hi @ Bootcamp Full

    Judging from the question you provided, the cause of the problem is:

    There are spaces in the middle of your file name, and the spaces will be queried in chunks.

    Please enclose the file name "the a a" in double quotes to ensure that search engines see it as an exact matched phrase rather than a separate word. This will help you find files with exact file name matches.

    Here is a test for your reference:
