Use command-F or File -> Search to get a search window.  Ignore the 
Spotlight input box at the top, instead use the popup menus and input 
boxes below that.

To search for a filename, set the first popup to "Name", set the middle 
popup to whatever you want (e.g. "Begins With"), and type the partial 
name in the box to the right.

You can ignore the second row of search controls or use it to narrow the 
search, for example "Kind is Images" to search for pictures & graphics.
