Sharepoint Online: Find an Item box is not finding all items in a list based on keyword search

I am using SharePoint Online.

I have a standard SharePoint list with a "Name" field (single line of text) and a "Description" field (multiple lines of text).  The Find n Item search box is present as expected, and works very sporadically.  For example, I have an item with the word "white" in the Description field.  Searching for "white" doesn't find the item.  I have a number of items with the word "vending" in the Name field.  Searching for vending returns some of the items, but not all of them.  

I have gone into the list settings (Advanced) and reindexed the list.

Here are two screenshots that illustrate the issue.  The first is unfiltered. The second shows a filter on the word "vending".  Note that some are found and some are not.

Filtered

Any idea what's going on?
