Part-explorer is only a front-end to the KTrader class 
(http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/3.1-api/classref/kio/KTrader.html) and 
so it has its same features (and limits ;): that is the "Type" field _must_ be filled and 
"Costraints" is optional. On the latter you can specify (obviously) stricter conditions for 
your search. In example: 
 
Type = KDevelop/Plugin 
Costraints = 'kdev' ~ DesktopEntryName 
 
will return all registered KDevelop's plugins having the substring 'kdev' in its 
DesktopEntryName field. Refer to 
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/tradersyntax.html for more info 
about KTrader's queries syntax. 
 
So if you want to search for some sub-string in any service' property than it will 
probably not do the job for you; but if you need to perform queries on services you 
already own some info (the service type) than it can help you. If you find KTrader 
useful, then partexplorer is (probably) useful.
