Default ".MatchTextExactly = true" not always the case, please help.

I've written an Excel macro that searches through a list of files using
Application .FileSearch in a specified location created by another
application, and then does some other stuff with those files.

The macro looks for a standard filename to know which files are which, and I
built in a check to stop the routine if it comes across multiple files with
the same name, in case the other application was run multiple times resulting
in multiple copies of the files. The problem is that the output files from
the other application have some similarity, for example:
"1A.eplmdf"
"LA1A.eplmdf"
"S01A.eplmdf"

I set the .MatchTextExactly field equal to "True" which I thought would make
FileSearch actually match the text exactly, but instead if it's seeing all of
the files listed above with "1A.eplmdf" in their name.

Is there some way I can have it look for just "1A.eplmdf" and not see all of
the other files that have "1A.eplmdf" in their name?

Thanks.
