This is a limitation. The workaround is to use filters:
[contents, any metadata or filename] [includes all of the words] [inflation]
[then apply advanced filter] [file name] [does not contain the string] [ignore case] [mmo]

If you want exclude filenames that do not contain the word mmo, but not the string mmo as part of a longer word, use a regular expression:
[contents, any metadata or filename] [includes all of the words] [inflation]
[then apply advanced filter] [file name] [does not contain the regular expression] [case incensitive | \w, \d, \s, \b also apply to Unicode characters] [\bmmo\b]
