Query¶

For the Query Protocol, the user will send messages of the format: [field1]=[search1],[field2]=[search2],?=[search3], where field1 and field2 are Name components, ? indicates an autocomplete search, and search* is what to use for searching on. (See Schema)

In response, the Query backend of the Catalog will make Data available that includes a list of names that match the query.
