Description
For example, if I accidentally use "=" instead of "==" as the comparison operator, I get 0 items back without any indication that there is no way that filter could ever match:
# arv collection list -f '[["modified_at","=","2016-05-18T13:22:11Z"]]' -l 0
{
"kind":"arvados#collectionList",
"etag":"",
"self_link":"",
"offset":0,
"limit":0,
"items":[],
"items_available":0
}
# arv collection list -f '[["modified_at","==","2016-05-18T13:22:11Z"]]' -l 0
{
"kind":"arvados#collectionList",
"etag":"",
"self_link":"",
"offset":0,
"limit":0,
"items":[],
"items_available":2597859
}

Josh,
You actually have the opposite problem you think you do. = is the correct filter operator (it's SQL-based). The filter with == gets silently ignored and returns all collections. That makes this a duplicate of #7166.
I believe the first filter is returning 0 results because our timestamps have microsecond precision. This may only match collections created at 2016-05-18T13:22:11.000000Z. Consider [['modified_at', '>=', '2016-05-18T13:22:11Z'], ['modified_at', '<', '2016-05-18T13:22:12Z']].
