It'd be nice if a query didn't contain an armor type, it'd automagically create a compound and behind the scenes that amalgamates all the armor types

ex: you query "armor/hands/52/60/strength"

but what actually gets searched is

"armor/plate/hands/52/60/strength;armor/mail/hands/52/60/strength;armor/leather/hands/52/60/strength;armor/cloth/hands/52/60/strength"

Double checked and it doesn't seem to be possible with the new api.

Not sure if it's possible with this api. It was possible in vanilla aux and I remember removing it but not sure if it was because it was impossible or because it required too many changes and I had not enough time.

edit: it would be possible to transform the query like you're suggesting but I'm not gonna introduce this sort of thing just for this case if the api doesn't support it directly.
