Description

I want to search files with just filenames. I tried adding filepath and using .* in the query but it didn't work (UI just hangs).

I tried to edit the code but it first gets results for the query and then filters by filenames. Any pointers about how to add this functionality would be helpful.

Research direction
Investigate the query processing logic in the backend, likely in files such as 'app.js' or 'search.js'. The issue reporter noted that results are fetched first and then filtered by filename. To implement filename only search, one might need to modify the query parser or add a new parameter to filter by filename at the database level. Check the existing code that handles 'filepath' or similar parameters, and review any related issues or PRs for context.
