Ventura's Spotlight doesn't work the same

I used to be able to find files just by searching the .identifier for an application. Files ending in .psd, .pdf, etc. The ones I cannot find specifically now are the ones ending in .afdesign (Affinity Design).

Any idea as to the problem or if Spotlight doesn't work the same anymore?

Use the following Spotlight search:

name:.afdesign

This works for me on Ventura 13.0.1., and the same approach used on previous releases of macOS.

I don't know the exact name of the file. I used to be able to type in .afdesign and all the files with that ending would appear. Even using one word that I know is the file name doesn't help.
