/*
Very often in my practice I had to generate a query from the form in
order to make a search engine. This example shows the logic which I
use to resolve this practical problem.

Note: This example is trivial - I want to show just the logic of
resolving the problem.

Starting from this point through improving this solution you can
very easily resolve much more complicated problems.

This class also provide more features which I didn't use in this easy
case. In case, that you are interested in more details regarding this
example you can contact me via the contact author link at the top of this
example or you can add a comment to it.
