finder open a different document

When I search for a document (pdf, doc or odt) from my USB memory stick in the find bar, I can see and locate the document that I want. The issue comes when I double click to open it (or when I hit the space bar for a preview), the document is a different one, mainly from random, older folders. This has happened already several times. I had to close the system and start over. This solution is disrupting. Is there another way to get this fixed?

Many thanks

Boot to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.
