Am I missing something so obvious with authoring search function

Hi all, 
 

This might be an obvious question with an obvious answer but what is the fastest way to search for a page when you know the page URL name in this case “chris-phillips.html” .

As an admin and “helpdesk” for 100+ authors I have touched thousands of pages in some form or another so when I search for a page that I know exists, with the exact URL name it shows all the pages I have modified, created or published. Search seems to ignore the “-” in the query so it looks for every instance my name appears. All I want to show/find is the editable page quickly as do all the editors I help.

Is this possible or is the search in AEM so useless it cannot do the simplest of tasks or is there a fix/hack I can share with my authors to help streamline their work to find/update pages faster?

Cheers

Chris

This is the page I want, but it’s never the first result despite asking for the correct name of the page
