10.5: Search for files by name in Finder
Authored by: mistersquid on Wed, Nov 14 2007 at 2:43PM PST

As explained here, the "Contents" selector in Finder/Spotlight windows is not really contents but "all metadata" which includes Date Created, Date Modified, Name, File Type, and Contents

In order to specify Contents-only, one needs to select from the pull-down menu and choose "Contents."

How's that for reality distortion?
