jIO uses complex-queries manager, which can be run on top of the allDocs()
method to query documents in the storage tree. A sample query would look like
this (note, that allDocs and complex queries cannot be run on every storage and
that pre-querying of documents on distant storages should best be done
server-side):
// run allDocs with query option on an existing jIO
jio.allDocs({

"query": '(fieldX: >= <string> AND fieldY: < <string>)',
"filter": {
jio_instance.allDocs({

// records to display ("from to")
"limit": [0, 5],
// sort by
"sort_on": [[<string A>, 'descending']],
// fields to return in response
"select_list": [<string A>, <string B>]
},
"wildcard_character": '%'
}
