This assumes a consistent query language among all of the indexing services, which I don't think is very realistic. For example, each one will have its own analyzer (and this may vary from language to language). I would much prefer to see the interface be described in terms of both search terms and additional restrictions (be it file type, etc.). You probably wouldn't add a "maxhits:50" string to the query language, there's no reason to mandate "type:audio/*".
