If the file is in a folder that QS indexes, you can just start typing its name to find it. to include the name extension in the text that is searched for, just skip the period and type that too. So to find name.bidule, type namebidule into the first pane.
There was never a time when QS automatically selected the text entered into Spotlight. They function independently. However, if you use ⌘Esc to invoke QS, it will open and put the current selection into the first pane in one action. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of?
