Not quite. Queries in Fileman are *implemented* as searches, but the
relational model says nothing about how queries should be implemented,
only what their results are.
That being said, I agree that search is not a strong feature of Fileman
(for a couple of reasons: it is slow, and the UI is awkward), and I
agre that Fileman ought to be able to make better use of existing indexes.
