I'm trying to find archived caches with map compare. It seems to focus finds only in California despite having no locations chosen. An example query:

Profile name: a user account with no finds

Cache location: all blank

Show: none found

Hidden: 2005/01/01 to 2005/07/31

Show Archived on and Custom filter Archived on

Result is 6265 archived but only in California

If I change location to US/Florida, I get 0 results

I think my query is archived caches in those months of 2005 that my user has not found.

Maybe I have misunderstanding with my query but getting results in California and not elsewhere has me puzzled.

My guess would be that your custom filter does something more than you think it does.

When I make the same query, I get a warning that the search is too large and is capped at 10k finds (with the shown finds being all over the world). Limiting to California, I get 6265 hits. Limiting to Florida, I get 2574 hits.
