Checkbox option to search file names only, not content

Searching contents is REALLY handy sometimes!  But not being able to turn it off is problematic. For a very simple example, if I have 4 files with the word "book" in the file name, I will search for that word.  That used to work fine.  However now, I can get those four files... along with 50-60 other files that have IMAGES of books in the file contents. Much less helpful.

 

Can I request that "Search contents" (or something like) be made a CHECKBOX so that if we are only looking for a known file name, we don't get so many results that the search ceases to be useful?  I hope this is doable!

 

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
