Use of dateadded filter unclear in the documentation #753

Description

@SamWhited

While trying to find some old tracks by date I looked up the search filters in the documentation. it mentions that "dateadded" is a filter, but it only mentions it under the special search options and doesn't mention what date format is expected. I tried various formats:

  • dateadded:>2025-03-01
  • dateadded:>"03/01/25"
  • etc.

but nothing worked. Eventually I realized that it might only have a special search operator version and tried a few things, finally landing on:

  • ~dateadded:2025-03-01

Which appeared to work, but it's unclear to me what the special operator is doing or what the range it's searching is. Also the date format doesn't match what is shown in the date column, which is confusing.

This could use some expansion and clarification in the docs to make it clear up front how to use the date operators (I haven't even tried the datetime one, same for its format and what not, I assume).
