"savetime" is an absolute number, not a relation from today.  Older
times are smaller than later times.

2006 < today. 

"1 day" is interpreted as "1 day from now".  So "savetime < 1 day" will
match all dates that are less than (earlier than) tomorrow.

If you want match dates older than yesterday that would be:

"savetime > 1 day ago"
