ERROR: Placename Missouri is not New York
DGS #7832821 is a computer printout of marriages 1846-1876 from Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Kansas City, Missouri.
The marriage place shows up New York on every single entry I've checked.
Example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QG5F-9V6X
I had started my search from all records in New York: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/location/22?region=New%20York
The specific database is New York, Church Records, 1660-1954 https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2787817
If I specify the DGS number in my search, with a marriage place of Missouri*, the search returns 180 records.
There should be no marriages from Missouri in a New York record set.
@N Tychonievich or any mod who will report to the engineers.
Thank you.

The Kansas City printouts are item 11 out of 13 on that film (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A1205775). Other items are from Rhode Island, various places in New York, and a couple of others from Missouri. So there's no error involved in the film showing up in a New York collection: there are New York records on it.
Browsing through the film at random, most of the indexed placenames looked at least vaguely correct, but some of them are completely wrong. For example, this page from Immaculate Conception, Saint Joseph, Buchanan, Missouri (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS3L-9SJV-Q?i=1723&cc=2787817&cat=3715) is showing up on the Image Index tab as Saint Joseph, Middletown, Orange, New York, United States. There's also an unexpected "end of roll" page on image 1549 of 2098; I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
(These printouts are, um, not exactly trustworthy. "Johannem Vepomuoenum" is almost certainly supposed to be Johannem Nepomucenum, for example.)

But there is an error when I have narrowed my search to records applying only to New York, and I receive records from other locations.

No, Missouri shouldn't be showing up when you're searching in a New York collection, but that filter has to rely on the place field(s): specifying the DGS or film number includes everything on the film.
However, since auto-standardization has corrupted the place field(s), the collection filter doesn't work.
