Odd behavior in Finder search

I started searching for that skylight highlighted string in "SLIDESHOW" folder. Nothing found.

Expanded the search to "This Mac". One of the results is located at the SLIDESHOW folder.

I also tried search string without the extension .JPG and it in lowercase: same result: nothing found.

How can this be understood?

Thanks

You can always rebuild the spotlight search—this is the same database your Finder uses
