Explanation of Change

Documents the new search query escaping and quoting behavior introduced by #98522, which lets a search operator value contain a quote or a comma.

Updates docs/articles/new-expensify/reports-and-expenses/Use-Search-Operators-to-Filter-and-Analyze.md:

  • Clarifies that wrapping a value in quotes keeps a comma as part of a single value (so merchant:"Globex, Ltd" is one merchant, not an OR list).
  • Adds that a literal quote inside a quoted value is escaped with a backslash, e.g. workspace:"Acme \"US\", Inc".
  • Extends the FAQ with the comma-in-quotes clarification and a new "How do I search for a value that contains a quote?" entry.

No new UI labels were introduced by the linked PR — the change is search-query grammar only, so the existing Spend tab and Search icon references are unchanged.
