Well, since this sounds like the same facility as in OpenSearch, why don't we just use their name?

 

searchTerms

 

The semantics is that it is just a bag of words and the server performs magic on it.

Subject: [search-ws] qyeryType=plain

I propose that we designate a reserved query type in SRU, queryType=plain.    This would be for the case where a client wants to send a very simple search, like "cat", and assumes that the server can handle it, but doesn't know what queryType to use.
