No, I don't know c++. The example wasn't meant to work, it was just to show 
what I'm thinking about. When I look at the GBV z39.50 information 
(http://www.gbv.de/du/services/info/z39_50) it gives me for each database a 
lot off different attributes. So I thought it might be usefull to extend the 
search types. But rethinking it, I would say the four you are providing 
(title, person, isbn and keywords) are enough. So I can live very well with 
the changed source code (from 1003 to 1004) as the library of congress seems 
to understand this search attribute also. But if it isn't to complicated, 
this could be implemented as configurable feature.

Greetings,

Ben
