Description
The current system:duration predicate only allows entering seconds and milliseconds in separate boxes.
When viewing files, times are displayed in a more friendly format, e.g. "2 hours, 9 minutes", requiring mental conversion if you're searching for a specific range of times.
Suggestion: add hours and minutes textboxes to the existing UI, or allow entering durations in different formats in a single textbox ("e.g. "hh:mm:ss.nnnn", "2 hours", "2h" "30min", etc.)

Research direction
Start by locating the system:duration predicate and the existing UI for entering seconds and milliseconds. Review how displayed durations are formatted, then determine whether the chosen scope is additional hour/minute fields or parsing multiple duration formats. Done means the predicate accepts the agreed duration input and the relevant search behavior is covered.
