To build filters, is indeed a typical application for SPL objects as part of
a data processing chain. If the total result list, is a few dozens of
entries, the result browser could do all this in one application, what the
user feels to be one application. There are smart solutins in Ruby on Rails
doing this.

But if the result list has hundreds or thousands of entries, it's much
better to use the DB for sorting and filtering. But then we have to divide
it into two parts. Both parts, resultbrowser and DB, have to deal with the
offset and the limit. That is against the DRY "Don't repeat yourself"
paradigma. But I don't see a fast running solution to avoid this artificial
seperation.
