Trenton HolmesandClaude Fable 5 7bab9622c8 fix(search): restore unquoted multi-word date keywords via pre-parse quoting
"added:previous month" returned HTTP 400 after the whoosh-compat
migration. The unquoted spelling was never parser-native anywhere: v2
rewrote it to explicit bracket ranges app-side before whoosh saw the
string, and the deleted translation layer consumed it itself, so users
and saved views have relied on it continuously while whoosh-compat
deliberately scopes it out of its parser (its DIVERGENCES.md entry 19)
and understands the phrases natively only as quoted values.

parse_user_query now quotes the closed six-phrase vocabulary (previous
week/month/quarter/year, this month/year) when it directly follows a
date field's colon, before parsing. Only quoting happens app-side; every
date computation stays in whoosh-compat's grammar, unlike v2's rewrite,
which computed the ranges itself. Date field names derive from
PUBLIC_FIELDS, the field name matches case-sensitively (the parser's own
field tagging is case-sensitive), the phrase case-insensitively (the
grammar accepts any case in the quoted form), and already-quoted
spellings, TEXT fields, unfielded words and bracketed ranges are
untouched.

The previously xfailed end-to-end regression test now passes as a plain
test, and a new acceptance class pins unquoted == quoted == mixed-case
result sets on a boundary fixture, no-error parsing for the whole
vocabulary across all three date fields, and that "title:previous month"
stays an ordinary text search. docs/usage.md now states the two
spellings are equivalent after a date field.

Paperless-ngx

Paperless-ngx is a document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper.

Paperless-ngx is the official successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects and is designed to distribute the responsibility of advancing and supporting the project among a team of people. Consider joining us!

Thanks to the generous folks at DigitalOcean, a demo is available at demo.paperless-ngx.com using login demo / demo. Note: demo content is reset frequently and confidential information should not be uploaded.

Features

A full list of features and screenshots are available in the documentation.

Getting started

The easiest way to deploy paperless is docker compose. The files in the /docker/compose directory are configured to pull the image from the GitHub container registry.

If you'd like to jump right in, you can configure a docker compose environment with our install script:

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/main/install-paperless-ngx.sh)"

More details and step-by-step guides for alternative installation methods can be found in the documentation.

Migrating from Paperless-ng is easy, just drop in the new docker image! See the documentation on migrating for more details.

Important Note

Document scanners are typically used to scan sensitive documents like your social insurance number, tax records, invoices, etc. Paperless-ngx should never be run on an untrusted host because information is stored in clear text without encryption. No guarantees are made regarding security (but we do try!) and you use the app at your own risk. The safest way to run Paperless-ngx is on a local server in your own home with backups in place.
