Searching with only specified period does not work as expected?

I am interested in periodically searching for all new or changed postings of a given surname (MARCOUX in my case). I would expect that when I search for that name within only last 7 days that it would only find the individual RECORDS that are new within that period. Instead, this search command seems to identify DATABASES that have changed and posts every record from them.

For example, 529 records of Marcoux pop up from "devalter" database every time I do a search for Marcoux changes in last seven days (this is the total number of Marcoux in that database). I suppose the owner might have changed a few of his Marcoux records at any given time but he certainly does not change all 529 of them every week! The way this works, it is almost impossible for me to use as it would seem to be intended because I can't wade through 1000+ records every week on the offchance I'll spot a new database.

Am I missing something?

Thank you for your help,
