Add "high level" abstractions to perform searches
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MINDEXER-3
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINDEXER-3
             Project: Maven Indexer
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Tamás Cservenák


Add "high level" abstractions to perform searches.

While NexusIndexer interface is rather "low level" (it works with Lucene Query directly), we should have a component that adds some "high level" abstractions to Indexer.

Typical queries would be:

* perform "general" search -- aka "keyword" search in Nexus (G and A fields are searched). This could be broaden up to multiple fields.
* search for GAV with supplied values
* search for all plugins with provided expressions
* etc

And callers of these methods should not worry about _how_ the Query should be constructed, neither worry when to fallback to use the "groups" and "rootGroups" fields in Indexer for example, these should happen transparently, "behind the curtains".
