Introduction
Using the Content Broker, it is possible to search for components using a SearchFilter. The SearchFilter offers the possibility to search using a query language. However, this language is not documented anywhere. There are some examples in the Content Delivery Reference Guide, but no complete overview of possibilities. This article helps you a little bit, by giving an overview of query syntax and sorting syntax.
