Hi Honza,

I would be happy to explain.

Searching by location is based on 2 dimensional placement from the 
center of the sign.

For the sign in question, the center of the sign is the center of the head.



The C hand for this sign is far down in the canvas.

To use the Search by Symbol:
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle2.0/searchsymbol.php?ui=6&sgn=52

The hand shape in question is in the 9 group.


Last column, third one down.




The hand shape is


If we drag this symbol into onto the canvas in the lower location and 
make the hand shape "Match Any"



Now if we search, we find the following signs.


And the sign in question is found.  Third column, second one down.

Alternatively, if we move the C hand shape to the top of the search area 
as the following illustrates...


We will have different search results, only one in fact.



I hope that helps explain search location.

Regards,
-Steve
