Hi, I have a file named No.0222.wmv inside a certain directory, as I try to search in the directory with the keyword 222, nothing shows up, but when I search it with the keyword 0222 or even 022 only , it shows up immediately, I've tried a couple of times. why? I don't understand. Is it a windows bug or my computer's problem??

Thank you.

I never use Windows search and turn off indexing. I use Everything.exe. Very fast and your 222 would most likely show that file in Everything.exe. http://www.voidtools.com/downloads/

Since I think you have XP follow this guide if you want to turn off indexing. http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp

Every time I have turned off indexing however I got errors saying Windows could not apply the attribute. So just click skip or continue. Can't remember the name of the button.
