What is actually happening (if you actually typed in *exactly* what you
have above) is a search for files which contain *either* the letter
combination "WD" in them *or* "POINTS" in them.  The "Find - Files or
folders"  will find files with the two letters W and D side by side
anywhere in the file name and also find files/folders with the letters
POINT together anywhere in the file name.  To keep the WD and POINTS
together you need to use quotes (") around the search words.

To find a file named WD POINTS.EXE you should type in "wd points.exe" (or
"wd points.*" if you don't know the extension) INCLUDING the quotes
(").  The case doesn't matter so you can use upper or lower case letters.
When using quotes you *do* have to use the dot '.' and the file name
extension or wildcard "*" for it to search properly.
