/**
 * A custom search engine designed for optimized searching across ChangeLogEvents
 * within the ChangeLogStore.  The following lookup and search operations are
 * provided:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>lookup change by revision</li>
 *   <li>lookup change by date</li>
 *   <li>find all changes</li>
 *   <li>find all changes before or after a revision</li>
 *   <li>find all changes in a revision range</li>
 *   <li>find changes by LDAP namespace scope on Dn</li>
 *   <li>find changes by Dn</li>
 *   <li>find changes by principal</li>
 *   <li>find changes by change type</li>
 *   <li>find changes by attribute</li>
 *   <li>find changes using a restricted LDAP filter on all of the above factors</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * Note change lookups by date can be conducted by first looking up a revision
 * using a generalizedTime descriptor to find a revision.  Then these revisions
 * can be plugged into the revision based find and lookup methods.
