/**
 * Represents a criteria for which the db can be queried.
 * 
 * the attributes of this container depend mainly on the properties of MediaObject-metadata.
 * there are three classes of search-fields:
 * - open search (e.g. name)
 * - classified search (e.g. language)
 * - compareable search(e.g. time: after, before)
 * 
 * for classified search, every value that occures in database has to be transmitted outside.
 * 
 * if a value is empty, the search result won't be affected by this attribute
