Well, since this sounds like the same facility as in OpenSearch, why don't we
just use their name?

searchTerms

The semantics is that it is just a bag of words and the server performs magic
on it.

I propose that we designate a reserved query type in SRU, queryType=plain.
This would be for the case where a client wants to send a very simple search,
like "cat", and assumes that the server can handle it, but doesn't know what
queryType to use.
