Shopify.order.find() returning multiple orders when searching by name

I’m using the python ShopifyAPI library to fetch orders by name using shopify.order.find(). For example

shopify.order.find({'name': '12345', 'status': 'any'}

This usually returns 1 order every time (the order with the name 12345 for example)

However, I’m now noticing a case where the response contains more than 1 order.

For example, when I search for the order with name 12345, the response also contains orders with names 12345, 123451, 123452, 123453 etc.

Is this the expected behavior of the API or is this an error? I dont see anything in the docs to clarify this to me.
