I configured SharePoint 2016 Enterprise Search and everything work good my crawling has not any error and crawl all files my main issue is in the search result some files if I do not write it in full name I can not get result ex: I have EXCEL file named as 001610458996 I want that if I wrote middle numbers get me the result or just first 5 numbers I put star also but still not getting any result but if I write it in full number like 001610458996 then I can see that file its same for all other files also if a file name include any symbol I have to write \ before that symbol then I can get the result how to fix that to give my any result I type Regards,

What you describe is the normal behaviour of SharePoint. If you look at the Documentation you'll notice that only prefix-matching is supported, suffix-matching is not.
In your case: searching for 001* should work (if the name is part of the fulltext-index) whereas *996 will never work.

There is no difference in search, when in advance mode. Only the UI is different. The same restrictions still apply: Suffix-matching is still not supported.– NilsCommented Jun 29, 2019 at 15:08
