This would be the interactive (maybe prefix) version of "search for a
complex query".

Re-quoting myself:

|   C-c \ address@hidden"code"/NEXT

| This will search for headlines with the tag "Urgent", without the tag

Then to search for a specific pair of property-value:

C-c \ PROPERTY="value"

As for now "value" should be the exact string, not a regexp.
