Most operators work on the titles alone (and so don’t require the underyling 
tiddler to exist), but some work on the underlying tiddlers (eg. “[tags[]]”). 
The contains operator could have made a special case for working with the title 
field but it still wouldn’t do what you want because it would still convert the 
title to a list, so a title like “Hello Jeremy” would be converted to a list 
with two entries [[Hello]] [[Jeremy]], and then it would be checking whether 
either of those entries contains the specified string.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
