I thought a lot about this when working out the QueryService 
architecture before the Sprintathon.

You can do exactly what you describe.

The use-case we have been bearing in mind is of a text search where you 
also constrain the results by keyword.

I'll write up documentation on this after the Sprintathon.

My medium-term goal is for assembling indexes and query processors to be 
  at least as straightforward as using the ZCatalog.

I expect to be working with UI folks such as Alexander Limi to achieve this.
