What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/github-code-search/understanding-github-code-search-syntax#is-qualifier

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The article suggests that the term is:archived can be used to search. However, this doesn't seem to work when seraching repos or issues (I've not tried it in other places). A NOT will clear all repos shown even though only one is archived.
However, the archived:true or archived:false filters do work in both repo and issue use cases, and should be documented here.
This also cross references with https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-issues-and-pull-requests#search-based-on-whether-a-repository-is-archived.
