        Items of this sub set must match used query string. Format of query depends
        from real implementation. Using of "param=value" pairs isn't neccessary.
        So it's possible to combine different parameters as one simple command
        string.

                        example:<br>
                        (1)<br>
                        query as parameter sequence to return all elements wich match

        It's not possible to use special commands or search specific parameters here.
        You can match by properties only. Enumerated elements must provide queried
        properties as minimum. Not specified properties willn't be used for searching.
