Actually, I was ignoring the first search box 'Contains string' as what you noted, within files, and was using the second text box 'Filename pattern'. Yes, it says specifically 'filename' and not 'file or folder name' but it was quite surprising since it differs from what I would think would be reasonable. I found that if I left the first field blank, it simply ignored file contents, and searched solely on file (but not folder!) name.
And yes, that's precisely the sort of filtering functionality I'd like - filtering out is useful, but filtering *in* is, IMO, even more so for code diving. "Okay, I know it has something like 'blah' in the name... could be a file, could be a folder... oh hell, just give me all possible matches."
