In Filemaker, all searches are automatically wildcarded - if you performed a
search for "zzz_1234.jpg" manually you'd find the same results.
Instead, to perform an exact match search you need to prefix the search
string with "=="
Alternatively, manipulate Filemaker's "request" object and perform the find
that way (which is what you'd do to perform a complex, multi-criteria
search):
tell application " FileMaker Pro"
tell database 1
set cell "field_name" of request 1 to "==zzz_1234.jpg"
find window 1
end tell
end tell
Just be aware that multiple requests objects are persistent and will still
be in place if you perform another search later on.
