Filenames with blanks
I am having trouble finding files with an internal blank (or blanks). Here are two screenshots, illustrating that Everything finds examples of a search for "colinas" but if I change to "las colinas", nada. Probably something trivial but I couldn't determine the problem. I've tried all permutations of capitalizations and inclusion/exclusion of the asterisk. Attached are two screenshots of successive searches.

That causes your colinas* to search for filemnames that start with colinas, followed by anything (or nothing)
A couple of options:
You can also uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards
