Searching in Finder.

Hi all.

Every time I think I have this figured out, I can't find anything. I have a file that contains ring or maybe RING, upper or lower case, or maybe mixed for all I know. It's an mp3 file. I pick a volume I've aliased on a network drive. I hit shift-cmd-c and arrow to that volume. Then I hit cmd-f, type in ring*.mp3, hit VO-down and pick "name contains", then stop interacting with that menu, go to the right, and pick the radio button to search only the highlighted volume.

It finds nothing. How do you search for files/folders in finder?
