I couldn't find a file I created yesterday. It should be the odt file named L8_P11_or.odt.
Turns out, I mis-named that file as L8_P1_or.odt.
Here's how I found my document:
I opened Dolphin, went to the directory that contains all such files I create and searched on the string 'or', and in that search window, I clicked the tab called 'Filename.'
Well, up came L8_P1_or.odt, and I immediately saw my mistake (I mis-named it), and I located the document I was looking for.
OK, done deal, I'm happy.
Here's my question:
Before finding my document successfully, I used that same search window to try to find documents containing a certain content; in fact, the content was an example sentence:
Nothing came up with that content in that directory (when I clicked the "Content' tab in the search window).
I tried shorter strings, like 'Probably that person's job' and so on.
Am I misunderstanding how to use Search in Dolphin? or how to perform a search based on the content of a file (the content of an odt document)?
Is the Search function lacking in Dolphin?
Is there a better way to find such documents in the future?
KISS, please and thank you.

Probably that person's job is either a company worker or a teacher.
