Search gives locked files in results

FC XE 680

Open any file exclusively in any folder (for example, open any doc or xls file in any office application). For example, file name of such a document - test.doc or test.xls

Now run Search files/folders (Alt-F7)
Try to find any "file name" that is not contained in the name of your file, for example, search for "stone" (without quotes)

But after search is finished, in search results you'll see your exclusively opened test.doc, but it should not be there!
In Search log there would be a message "Process can not access the file because it is in use by another process"

So, all files, that are in use by another process are shown in the search results, but it is wrong.

Very often such a problem occurs if you try to find something on local disk, where pagefile.sys is present. It is always given in search results.

I can't replicate this issue.

Tried it with default settings?

Forgot to mention, that "Search in archives" must be switched to ON.

Yes, now I can replicate this, but not for every file type (opened multimedia files don't show, but opened documents do).
