It's called "add" because the thinking was we have a "set of filters"
and we "add" filters to this set.
eg. you start with an empty filter set then you
"add a filter on name to the set of filters"
then
"add a filter on status..."
then
"add a filter on created time..."
etc..
So you are adding filters until you get a full set of filters that you
want to use to trim down the result set.
