Maybe not hidden, but a non-obvious search operator I love is the negative hashtag. I use WFY internally and sometimes I need to copy/paste a large chunk to be shared with a client outside of WFY. All the portions that are internal only get a #internal tag.
Before I copy, I do a search on -#internal and it hides any internal sections. Boom.
Why hide features from your users? Do you hate us? Think we're foolish? Can't handle them? Of course not. So don't hide. Hiding features sends a negative message. Document, document, document.
Also, the referenced blog entry is now 5 years old. By now, the "hidden" features had time be written up properly.
I guess I feel kind of cheated; these could have really helped me earlier had I known about them sooner.

Is there a date field that can be searched, and ideally displayed, for "Date Created"?
Agree with Neil, that would be a great feature!

The negative operator combined with a tag does not hide tasks that have sub-tasks that do not have that tag. Is that a bug or is that by design?

Date created can be viewed as the "Last changed" if there has not been any change.
