Find in open/save dialog boxes

The find in open/save dialog boxes seems to return unexpected results. Say I have two folders one called "Down under" and the other called "Down under 2". If I ask it to find "down" it only returns the file "Down under 2" and other files whose content may have the word "down" in them. The folder "Down under 2" only has jpegs in it. None have "Down" in the file name.

So what gives?

Are you searching 'Everywhere' or just selected drives? Do you have any spaces in the file names that are different?

I am searching a particular folder. I search for "download" for example.
