This is probably something silly I am doing wrong, but it is odd and I could use some help to understand.
I am using the internet search (not local) and I was looking for a file I knew was large so I have the results sorted with the largest files at the top of the list.
Using a keyword of "beach" (I do not type the " in the search) - the largest file returned is about 9GB
but when I use "beachbody" - the largest file is about 54GB.
Why wouldn't the "beach" search also return the "beachbody" results since it should be a subset of it???
Am I missing something?

How many results did you get? If you got 2000 results, that's the max. You might use a combination of the size filters and a more specific search term to get more usable results.
