Please document or fix the fact that quick search for e.g. year:1939..1938 does not work as expected.

Neither do
Year: 1990..
Year: 1990..1999
Year: ..1990
Rating: 4..
Rating: 4..5
Rating: 5..4
Rating: ..3
Also the search result probably shouldn't say any text field when limiting search field like year:

Well, so what? They fail to accord with the format requirement, being
year:X..Y.
Whereas my example does. Could you kindly file my bug report without mixing in cases that do not belong with it? Thanks.

Thanks.
The tooltip indicates that field: value (with space in between should work).
Not for year, LL. Though that might be a typo:
Search Tips:
A : finds tracks with A* or รก*
+A : finds tracks with A* only
"A" : finds tracks with A only
A B : finds tracks with A AND B
A OR B : finds tracks with either A or B
A -B : find tracks with A and NOT B
artist:A : finds tracks with Artist = A
year:X..Y : finds tracks in range X to Y
rating: X.. : finds tracks with X stars or more

Year and Rating should behave the same as they're numeric values and allow the same methods. I don't know if it's a typo in the tooltip (ie with space isn't implemented at all) or a bug, but I do believe for usability that the 2 formats should work (with/without space). On the same note your reverse values should probably be added as well.

Fine, but be clear you're disagreeing with the definition, not just the program behaviour.

Nope. It is covered by the current definintion.

Both reverse searches and searches with space after : work in 1213.
