Yes: this kind of functionality could be needed at search level and your API
seems to support it using AddTerm().
No: you can't transform this kind of search in this kind of query because is
crazy :).

When you told me that I must use the API, I did a try and found this
problem. You can't add a class with a constructor that supports 6 terms but
if you use it you crash DBMS or, when you use more than 3 terms dbms
freezes, at least with my data. I don't need to explain you the reasons why
this kind of stuff must be controlled at API level ;).

By the way, as always I need to do more tests, understand how db is
organised and where users need to do a search before I obtain conclusions
that could be useful to you but, sadly, I'm very short in free time and
Ksoprano is useful but annoying. I think I must write my own tool to work
with sparql and be more productive.

I have other mail pending with a couple of suggestions about building
queries and dbms, but I need some time to prepare it and verify that my
optimizations are reliable with additional test. I will try to respond you
this weekend.
