File Explorer search issues

Hi all, ever since moving to Windows 11, I've been having trouble using file search in file explorer/mypc
for example if I type in "cardboard" nothing will come up because the file name doesn't start with that, it's probably something simple I just can't see any options that would fix it, and I never had this issue with Windows 10.  Can anyone help please?

e.g. boxesCardboardPallet_LOD0.asset

    Ensure that the folder(s) containing your files are included in the indexed locations.

    Go to Settings→Search→Advanced Indexing Options to rebuild Windows search indexes.
