Bit of an odd question

I recently was forced to change to Windows 10. As some of you know, I've been around for a very long time, and my previous computer was an old Dell with Windows XP SP3.

Previously, whenever I did any work on an image or some other file, I simply appended a -2 on the end of the file name, ie: File002-02.jpg. I could quite easily search for "-2" and find all the stuff that I'd modified.

Windows 10 doesn't seem willing to search for dashes, underscores or other special characters. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Does anyone know how to do a search for files named with a -2? Doing a Win10 search with "-2" in the field results in getting every file with a 2 anywhere in the file.

Thanks
