Help.register ('searching', """
Searching involves the creation of a Selection () object, that will
hold the properties you request from the database.

	selection = Selection ( constraints )

...where `constraints' is an arbitrary construction of :

  -  has (field, value) : matches if `field' matches `value' (as a REGEXP)
  -  has_key (key) : matches if the entry matches the key
  -  has_type (typename) : matches if the entry is of the given type
  -  any_has (value) : matches if any of the fields matches the value
  -  before (field, year [, month [, day]]) : matches if the entry is older than the date
  -  after (field, year [, month [, day]]) : matches if the entry is younger than the date
  -  &, | : boolean operators (& = and, | = or)

Negation of a constraint is noted `- constraint'.

Examples :

	s = Selection (has ('author', 'me'))
	s = Selection (has ('author', 'me') & - has ('title', 'failed'))

This selection can then create an iterator from a database :

	it = s.iterator (database.iterator ())

	
For simple searches, you can use the function `search'

Syntax: database = bibopen (source)

bibopen  tries several  method  to open  `source'  as a  bibliographic
entry. `source'  can be  a simple file  or even  an URL. FTP  and HTTP
files are automatically fetched. One can even create a specific method
for client/server access for example.

One can apply the following commands on the output of bibopen :

    - database.keys () : lists the available entries
    - database ['key'] : returns a given entry
    - del database ['key'] : removes an entry from the file
    - database.where (...) : searches the base (see also `searching')
