Whenever I am trying to search emails using a Quick Filter 'Body' search for some abbreviation, I get many more than expected results

eg I am searching for '8CU, I find emails that do NOT have the text '8CU' in the body but in the base64 encoding of an attached file:

or eg when searching for 'DEDF5' TB finds an email:

Message-ID: <2F17D411-7186-43C1-A2E3-DEDF5AE068CF@akamai.com> and Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_003_2F17D411718643C1A2E3DEDF5AE068CFakamaicom_"; type="text/html"


and searching for 'FuSy' finds emails


Is there a way too make it skip searching for text in base64 encodings or similar hashes? Often the search results are still too many and I have to visually pare down the results
