Default Filter "is:expired-3" Includes All Expired Entries

Have you searched for an existing issue?

• Yes, I tried searching and reviewed the pinned issues

Brief Summary

The default search of "is:expired-3" displays also all already expired entries, even if that was years ago.
Rendering it useless for my database with 15+ years of entries including expired entries (which I am not going to delete).
Unfortunately the user guide [1] doesn't explain the search term "is:expired" in detail.

Is there a way to show the expiring entries for the next +X days, but no older entries than -Y days.
In my use case I would set +7 days into the future and -30 days into the past.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a database with many expired entries, where some will expire in some days, some expired several days ago and some expired years ago

Expected Versus Actual Behavior

Right now all already expired entires are displayed.
To make the default search useful a setting to set the limit for past entries is needed.

Move all your old expired entries to a new group. When editing that group, disable search.

This forces me to create a sub-group in every group of my huge databases maintained for decades.
Also doubles database maintenance: instead of only setting expiring date, this also forces me to react everytime any entry expires to move it to the related sub-group.

I definitly would see the is:expired filter criteria being fixed/enhanced.

You have three options today (creating subfolders everywhere is a choice):

1. Create ONE subfolder (eg., Archive) and place all expired entries there and disable search
2. Disable the expired search on login (application settings)
3. Delete (or at least place in the recycle bin) all expired entries that are defunct

Technically the is:expired-# feature is meant for folks that intend to reset the password. Hanging onto expired entries is your choice, but not the intention of the feature.
