### Please describe the problem.
The man page of [git-annex findkeys](https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-findkeys/) says:
> OPTIONS
>
> * matching options
> The git-annex-matching-options(1) can be used to specify which keys to list.
However, this is not true for the options that match file size. Being able to do for example `git-annex findkeys --largerthan 100M`
is important for me as it allows me to track down the files that occupy most of my storage, allowing me to move them to some
archive. However, if I try to call the above command, it does not show me a list of keys matching the criterion, but a help page
as if I have misspelled the option:
> $ git annex findkeys --largerthan 1
> Invalid option `--largerthan'
>
> Usage: git-annex COMMAND
> git-annex - manage files with git, without checking their contents in
>
> Commonly used commands:
>
> add add files to annex
> [...]
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
[[!format sh """
echo hi > file
git annex init
git annex add file
git commit -m "Test commit"
git annex find --largerthan 1 # << this lists "file"
git annex findkeys --largerthan 1 # << this fails
"""]]
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
* git-annex version: 10.20230926-g44a7b4c9734adfda5912dd82c1aa97c615689f57
* Rocky Linux 9.2
* git 2.40.1
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
I am using it for my research project (data science/predictions in plant breeding) and it allows me to keep track of the
current model iteration and associated results. Thank you for this!
