Sierra does in search results not follow the search arguments

Question

Sierra does in search results not follow the search arguments

not at all; establish-dates are after change-dates, and so on.

Please help.

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)

Viking, search arguments are another question (say, part of the name: dsc1864)

Now the displayed dates for Save-date (5th April 2017) is wrong, should bee 15th Dec. 2017 (seen in the name _DSC1864_wuerfe 15dez17 v6q.psd)

Yesterday the displayed false last-save-date was before the date-file-generated.

Änderung=alter, edit -› yesterday (gestern)

Erstellung=first store (save) -› today (heute)

Is this a matter of search arguments?

Were the _DSC*15dez17*.psd files created on the same machine, or created on a Linux or Windows machine and brought over to the Mac? I cannot otherwise explain the discrepancy in created date (in the filename), and in the Änderungs/Erstellungsdatum that you have provided.

With Spotlight, you can find any _DSC Photoshop file created on 15dez17 with the following. No wildcards.

kind:image +.psd name:_DSC created:12/15/2017

For Europe, Spotlight may allow the locale ordering of the date different than above, and created, modified, etc. may be their locale language name, and not English names.
