For extrudes created in both directions, only one direction must satisfy the Find criteria to find the feature. For example, a boss extrude has a depth of 5mm in the first direction and 2mm in the second direction. If you Find all extrudes < 3mm, the boss extrude is found because the second direction is less than 3mm.
