There is a list of advanced search operators. (I can't give you a link to it, but if you go to Help and search for that, you should get to it.) *filename:* Search for an attachment by name or type. Examples: *filename:physicshomework.txt* *filename:pdf* (will search for any attachment that is a PDF file) Apparently you don't need to use the *has:attachment* search operator when using *filename:* because the latter implies an attachment.
