Mac OS Finder shows titles of events instead of .ICS file names

Finder is trying to be smarter than I need it to be, showing titles of events instead of .ics filenames. As a result, these files cannot be found by name, which is inconvenient for me.

Does anyone know how to get Finder to show filenames rather than event titles?

MacOS 11.2.3.

File "Can't be Found" prompts after Ventura 13.1 Since updating to Ventura 13.1, at random times, when I double-click on a file to open it, I get a prompt that the file can't be found. If I click OK then double-click the file again, it opens as it should. It happens randomly to files of all types. I have never created aliases to any of these files and they are stored locally on a desktop folder. This has never happened before 13.1. Any ideas? iMac 2020 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 Gb

That is how the search results are presented for various things (music files for one). There is no way to change it to show the file names in the results except in the preview pane.
