Many other implementations use the FHIR Search API as a standard format for representing filter criteria for FHIR data.

It would be great if we had a way of executing a FHIR Search API query in both the server implementation and the library API.

One way of implementing part of this could be to leverage the FHIRPath definitions used to define search parameters within the FHIR specification.

We should be able to translate these expressions into queries using the existing FHIRPath engine.
