Warn when search operators are unknown/misspelled

dfm says:
If a keyword ending in a colon is seen in a search, but not known, it might be nice to offer a warning. As it is misspellings can be tricky to track down. For example, it took me a long time to figure out that case is important in isTagged:false. If there's a colon, odds are the user meant it to be something special--a warning will clue the user in, yet not make anything else break.

Yes! I would love to see this. Even just a warning that you're getting no results because it's not really a valid search. I mean, what are the odds that you're going to have a task that includes "hassubtask:false"?? It took me a while to work out I was missing one pesky 's'.
