Summary:
If you do a Spotlight search in Finder with name + file format the order makes a difference. If the format is first and then the name, then the search yields no results. If the format is second and the name first, then files are found.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a folder containing Omnigraffle files amongst files of other types
2. Enter the beginning of the file name
3. Space
4. Enter "Omnigraffle"
5. In the pop up choose "Omnigraffle Format" under Kinds
6. Take note that several files appear
7. remove the Spotlight search text and enter:
8. "Omnigraffle" first and pick the format as before
9. Type the beginning of the file name 

Expected Results:
- The same results should appear regardless of the order in which you specify the filter criteria

Actual Results:
- with the file name first and the type second you see files
- with the type first and the file name second you see no files

Version:
10.10 (14A361c)

Notes:
Workaround is to do it the way that works. :-)

Configuration:
iMac 27"
