"Specific" doesn't mean "narrow." "What were the ingredients from every meal you've had in your life?" or "What is the current address of every person with the first name 'John'?" is a specific question.

All it means (in English) is that it's clear which information should be included in the reply, not a limitation on the range of information that can be asked for.
