Do Smart Folders have some odd logic?

I want to compile all the images and documents and folders and screen shots I have made since a certain date on a Mac running Catalina. I made the following Smart Folder: Yet it does not populate with anything. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I think it may be because you are using more than one Kind type. This would cause it to look for files with all of those Kinds (types) simultaneously. I don't believe there is an "or" function in the Smart Folder logic, which is causing the results to come up blank, since a file cannot be identified as Document, Image, PDF, and Text simultaneously.

You may be able to accomplish this with Automator, but I am not experienced enough with that to know for sure.
