Most of the terms available for entrez_search can be found via entrez_db_searchable. However, the term Filter, used by most databases, is only useful if you know what filters are available. As far as I can tell there is no way to retrieve that information from the API, so we should document the use of the web "advanced search" page to find these filters.
(Thanks @bastiensadoul for reporting #95 and getting this on to the TODO list)
