Hi, When I am trying to search for a file in a library it returns me unwanted files which don't meet my search keyword. For example in this picture: I am searching for "Yazaki" but it returns me other files as well.

That is not entirely true. When you perform a search in a document library, the keyword is going to be search in the following parts:
- Document title
- File name
- File content
- File metadata
What's not commonly known is that search is indexing a title of the document in document libraries and lists. By default the "Title" field is always indexed by search unless settings are updated to different configurations.
The most common pitfall I observe in the organizations, is that people do not include title field in their views. They have tendecy to skip updating the library/list form, especially when it's not required.
We also tend to give not very meanigful names as titles of our documents. Attempt to give your document a title using a natural language, that you and others would use when searching for it in the
future. If you do it the right way at the list/library level, that benefit carries over when searching a site as well.
I usually work with teams and guide them how to publish internal documents to gain most value out of SharePoint.
I hope this helps.
