Describe the feature you'd like

If you type {updated_by:me} in search field, app will return results for only last updated content, like it says in the documentation: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/searching/

{updated_by:me}
Adds the condition that the content must have been last updated by the user of the given slug. If 'me' is used in place of a slug then it will find content that was last updated by the current logged-in user.

It would be great to see all content that I (or some other user) has ever edited, not only for last revision. Maybe it can be achieved with new filter like ever_updated_by. I expect this filter documentation to be like this: {ever_updated_by:<user_slug|me>} , usage to be like this, for example: {ever_updated_by:me}, outcome to be like this: shows all items that I ever edited, no matter what revision it was.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Can easily track content that you work on among other users. Can easily backtrack to content that you edited long ago but forgot.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No
