11 years ago PR #19 gives about the same functionality as the first part of my PR, it's a matter of how you want to do it. I prefer the above as it allows the user to bypass the wrapper and make the Sort himself if what the utility function for creating sorts is not sufficient, e.g. creating a custom sort.
2 does pretty much the same, it gives the user the ability make his own query if what the queryparser provides is not enough, rather than preventing it.
This commit introduces two new features:
1) It is possible to pass a sort to the search function to have the output sorted. A utility function for creating the most common sorts is provided but it is also possible to create a sort manually and pass it to search.
2) It is possible to pass the search function an instantiated query rather than a string to bypass the query parser. Passing a string works as expected.
