Q: Don't understand Ratings in iPhoto

In iPhoto, not in Photos. I never used the feature but recently decided to try assigning ratings to several pics. Here's the thing:

I rated 5,4,2 stars. When in the Search->By rating I click 5 stars for 5-stars rated photos to be revealed I get 5 stars-rated ones, but when I want other ratings to be displayed, 4 or 2, it shows these photos not filtered out as I expected but together with other starred photos. I experimented in Aperture and found out that the default behavior is to sort them out on basis of the formula "better than". Besides, you can customize in Aperture to filter your content out using "less than", "-" keywords. It seems you can't do that in iPhoto as it would sort using "better than" keywords by default. Is it how it works? No way to change?
