Queries

Queries are similar to menus in the sense that they both produce a list of dynamically created items. What makes queries unique is the number of criteria that can be specified. Queries include all the criteria of menus, as well as time specific criteria and multiple sorting schemes, making them ideal tools to use as the logic behind searches, which is their primary purpose.

Query Types:

• Content Types
• Module
• Tags
• Times
• Limit Sort Method Types-
  • alphabetical, action date, comments, etc.
• Taxonomy
