Finding File Names

When putting in a filename to find Dropbox does a similar find and returns file names that do not match. If I search for A_1_cane.pdf it will return A_2_cane.pdf and other file names. The result is I was deleting files that did not match my criteria. How do I do an exact match? I saw in another post that this not possible, but the example was not a complete file name. I hope this is possible.

    The Dropbox API doesn't offer a strict/exact search option like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
