Finder search not working

Anyone know why, even when I type out the EXACT file name in my Finder search bar, nothing will populate?

The files exist, I could have just been working on them, but I can’t ever rely on my Finder search to actually FIND a file.

I read that it could be some settings within Spotlight settings, but all my boxes are checked. I read that it could be the settings within Finder itself, but everything is selected as well. I even unselected and restarted, then reselected them all…. Still nothing
