Create one in the GUI and see what gets written to the .qsf file. Then you'll know what the formatting is. It's obviously documented somewhere (built-in help) but doing this might be faster.
I will try this, but if I remember correctly, I tried this previously and when I tried to export the assignment to generate the .qsf file, it said the design has to be analyzed before it can be exported. Is there a way around this or will I have to let the entire project compile before I can view the updated .qsf file?

You don't need to generate a separate .qsf. Just do File -> Save Project after adjusting the setting and open the .qsf file. There's always a .qsf file. You don't need to separately create it. All assignments and settings are stored in this file whether the design has been compiled yet or not.

I tried this but nothing changes in the .qsf file when adding or removing a global search directory. I could be mistaken but my thought is that the .qsf file is specific to that project while the global ip search directory should be included regardless of which project is open. Am I understanding the functionality of the global directory correctly?
Is there anything else I could try?

No it would go back to the defaults file (.qdf) for Quartus itself as mentioned.
