Searching mp3 files in Finder, result and name of the file doesnt match?

Hey there,


I recently switched to Mac from Windows, using my macbook for professional music works. There's a problem I faced while searching mp3 files, I'll explain and add screenshots to make it clean;


I search for "ABC.mp3", when I find it in a folder, it shows the correct name BUT when I search it in finder, it shows the file's title, explanation or whatever it's called. I want to search for ABC.mp3 and I want to find it as it is, the result will show me another name like "XYZ music production" but I'm not searching by it's producer or another thing only the name. BTW choosing "Name: ABC.mp3" won't work.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0
