Is it a time zone issue or a setting issue related to the FIND by date / time issue?

It seems to add an hour to each of the time selections once you select SEARCH. see attached pics

 One hour adrift at this time of the year sounds like daylight saving.  Or compensation thereof.  What is your computer clock set to (not what time the clock reads)?

Personally I think it rather naughty that [at least older] Windoze automatically sets the clock one hour forward the first reboot after the spring switch forward, and the same in the autumn back.  What if you'd already done it, like all the rest of the clocks in the house?

 

 

But it shouldn't use a calculation of any means when the search criteria is entered. I did not choose "LAST DAY", I specifically entered a time, and THAT time should be used for the search.

 Some computer programs/OS work with the computer clock as is.  Some make adjustment for Daylight Saving.  Some - Windows comes to mind, actually adjust the computer clock back and forth as Daylight saving ends and begins respectively.  I know this because I have a dual boot computer (I use windoze for AutoCAD and one other Windows-only Java based utility[!]), and when British Summer Time starts, my Linux automatically moves the screen clock forward.  But when I subseqently boot into Windoze, it sets the computer clock forward one hour, so when I then boot back into Linux, the clock is one hour fast.

I therefore suggest again you check what your computer clock *really* is, not what the OS reports it as being, as often they think they're being clever and automatically put in Daylight Saving.

Another test - Stefan and Andreas will be shuddering hard tonight - will be to set your computer clock to December, and see if the effect is still there or has disappeared.
