Really fundamental problem

I can't seem to get past the simple task of selecting files. I assign a folder that contains several PDF files, use a selection criterion such as Kind is PDF, and an action such as add a green tag, and nothing happens. When I click on the eye icon, no files are shown to have matched.

I may have fundamentally misunderstood how to specify files. I may have installed Hazel incorrectly. I bought the MacSparky video field guide and I thought I was following the file description as was demonstrated in that video, but have been unable to make Hazel recognize files meeting the specified criterion.
