Additional search screening #11

Following Demoing HydroDesktop at the CUAHSI Colloquium, I received a number of requests/suggestions for additional search functionality, such as:

Find series with more than X months of data Find series with more than Y data values. I suggest that general query functionality be established so that any of the content of the series catalog can be used in screening for series. This should be coordinated with HIS central to determine whether implementation is best at Central or Desktop. (I prefer Central)

To support this, I think it would be best to implement additional search filters on the HIS Central web methods. Still, we'd only be able to ask questions (1) and (2) of the series as a whole based on the data we currently extract from harvesting. For example, I might have a series with Start Date of 1/1/1950 and End Date of 1/1/1999 and 723 values. I can find out How many total values are in this series? but I can't find out How many values are in this series from 1978 to 1979? unless I or HIS Central actually downloads all of the time series values for that series.
