How to search by filename in windows 10?

I know I can use 'name' keyword but is there a way to make it default behavior?

Right now my searches show thousands of result when there is in fact only 2 or 3 files with the name.I think it is searching the contents. Is there a way to disable this?

Windows default search supports a few keywords for filtering searches based on specific attributes.

To search only file names, use

filename: <query>

You can also use kind: to search files of different extensions that are of a similar kind (video, music, documents, etc), type: to specify a specific file extension, or size:.
