The /tags query is not giving me the correct results between two dates?

I'm trying to get the yearly total number of questions that have the tag browserify.

I can see that there are questions tagged from this year like this one and that one.

The site reports that there are 1491 total questions tagged browserify.

When I limit the dates to this year, I get no results.
So I tried querying for questions from before this year, and I get 1491 total questions with the following query created using the try it page:

{
  "count": 9,
  "name": "browserify-rails"
}, {
  "count": 90,
  "name": "browserify-shim"
}, {
  "count": 1491,
  "name": "browserify"
}

The information I am getting back from the API seems to be telling me that there are no questions from this year that were tagged with "browserify". Yet I can find questions from this year with the "browserify" tag.

I cannot see where I am going wrong in my usage of the API.

My question is different to "How to get all questions with a specific tag between certain dates" because the total numbers I see do not match the data I see on the site. I have no issues with paging.
