Search Filename

I'm really new to Immich but I've noticed something odd with the search function. At this time while I do some testing I only have pictures with no metadata other than date taken set. If I search by a word in the filename essentially all photos are displayed. But....if I search with the m: to search metadata it then only returns exactly what I searched for. I'm confused because the m: should be to search metadata only but its finding the word in filenames? Just seems so odd that the plain search brings back all results including incorrect ones yet this one is correct but shouldn't be.
Any help in understanding the intent or is this a bug?
