About searching sizes

Good day.
I was testing file searches by size in the Advanced Find Panel and ran into some odd inconsistencies across different scenarios: There are many of them described in order to make my point clearer, but all related.

  1. Using a whole number: works fine—no issues there.

  2. Searching with decimals: doesn’t work at first. Then I swapped the dot for a comma, and suddenly it works—despite commas not being valid there (in the non-text editor).

  3. But I’ve also seen some unexpected results.


  4. And sometimes, no results at all—even when matching files clearly exist, as shown in the video.

  5. When searching for folders—as Jon explained earlier—I tried using a “Folder” type clause with a subclause for size. Here the comma doesn’t seem to matter, but the results are still wrong.

Any idea why?
Thanks.
