Looking for exposed filter for private file name We have a view for a type of node that includes a Private File.

We cannot see a way to add an exposed filter, such as "Contains any word", and have it filter based on the file's name.

Are we missing something obvious?
Here's how to set that up:


Make sure you are not displaying teaser/full nodes. This works only for fields.
Under Relationships add your file field. You should select Content: [field name] (field_field_name:fid).
Create new Filter Criteria and choose File: Name.
Choose appropriate operator and optionally expose it to the visitors.


Hope this helps.
