Search & Replace: Indesign ignores the paragraph style I chose

When I search for a specific Paragraph style in my document (Body in this case) and add a specific characteristic to find a specific override (Align left in this case), when I start the search it will ignore the paragraph style I specifically chose completely and jump to everything else that has align left as a characteristic. When I remove align left, it'll find the Body style again.

 

Here's a screencap (In Dutch) of my search and how the cursor still jumps to a style that is not Body, but Opsom 123 niv 1 in this case.

This makes no sense to me as I am looking for the combination of Body and Align left specifically, nothing else.
Any idea if i'm doing something wrong? or a correct way of searching for this?
Thanks!

It would really help to see this is English. Dutch is confusing here, as "opmaak" seems to be "format" and "paragraph" at the same time, because "Opmaakstijlen" seems to mean "paragraph style".

So my best guess is that style "Opsom 123 niv 1" is somehow connected to style "Body". Check its definition.
