Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        This package provides a complete Plone user interface for ``AdvancedQuery`` by
        Dieter Maurer. It enables you to use a powerful language to search for
        content. It also provides functionality to save parametrized and conditional
        queries for later use (predefined queries). Look at the examples for more information.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        - Put anthill.querytool in eggs= and zcml=
        - Make sure that AdvancedQuery is installed (works for Plone>=3.2)
        
        Example query
        -------------
        
        A query could look like that::
        
        And(
        Eq('SearchableText', '$text'),
        ~Generic('path', {'query':'Members', 'level':-1}),
        
        [[if($allowed_types)]]
        In('portal_types', $allowed_types),
        [[endif]]
        
        [[ifnot($allowed_types)]]
        In('portal_types', ['Folder', 'Document']),
        [[endif]]
        
        Ge('start_date', TODAY)
        )
        
        Here you see that you can parametrize queries (using variable expansion using
        $), you can use constants defined (only one currently active called TODAY
        where TODAY=DateTime()) and you can put conditionals in your queries.
        Conditionals are a powerful way to enable or disable certain parts of your
        query. The ``if`` statement checks if a given parameter exists. You can also
        replace ``if`` with ``ifnot``that only activates the given part if the
        parameter is not set.
        
        You can save this query and call it later on like that::
        
        context.query_tool.executePredefinedQuery(
        'contentsearch', text='Test*', allowed_types=['Folder', ])
