Search filters - Phase 2

[cinqmilleans]

What's the Problem?

Phase 1 of the search filters is nearing completion.
I am creating this issue to discuss parsing.

Here is the actual plan.
Phase 1: Picker for date and size and groups.
Phase 2: Parsing for date and size.
Phase 3: Picker + Parsing for kind
Phase 4: Others filters.

Solution/Idea

The detailed content of phase 2

• Add a badge on the filter menu button, when there is at least one.
• Suggestion on the parsing keys.
• Syntax and validation while typing.

When a filter is parsed, it is deleted from the search box, and added to the menu.
The badge allows you to have a visual.

The same filter can have several syntaxes.
modified:01/01/2020, date:>2020, after:2020 are equivalent.

Alternatives

To discuss.

Another milestone this could further be improved would be filter by metadata, maybe coping some syntax form exiftool, for example: -exif:fnumber>5.6

@xdanielc Could you develop your idea? I do not understand.

I would like to search file/folders by attributes, now I'm using Everything for this.
