Media Picker filename search not accurate

Question

Is there a way to fix the search in a Media Picker component for Umbraco? I noticed that when I click on the Media Picker component and tried to search for the file I uploaded I ended up of getting all sort of results that has nothing to do with the search I've been looking for. So ideally I was hoping that if I type image001.png I was expecting to find all image with that name. But to my surprise when I do the search I get presented with files that is not even image001.png. See below image

As you can see I tried to search for 200 but I got presented with a file that has a name of test.jpg

Is there a way to fix this filter behavior? I'm using Umbraco 7.4

Answer 1

Did test have 200 in the path where the media library stored it? Search is a bit of a black art sometimes. You can clear and re-build the indexes as that might help improve things.

I do not think there are any custom packages to improve this. YOu could create your own custom search fairly quickly n the backend within a new tab, like this: https://www.jondjones.com/learn-umbraco-cms/umbraco-7-tutorials/umbraco-backend-customisation/how-to-display-an-mvc-view-in-the-umbraco-backend/

Then you can use examine to query media yourself and only search on the filename. Prob not the most helpful answer but it is a option :)
