I think that your statement of the problem is entirely accurate and very 
well put, and that having a way to do arbitrary boolean logic would be 
very useful, but that your suggested solution (both for the UI and 
possibly also for the URL parameters) results in increased or, at best, 
equal complexity rather than an improvement.

This is not a new problem; people have been creating graphical query 
builders for some time now.

Would it not make sense to a) look at those and b) talk to some of the 
usability people we have and see if we can come up with a design for 
building queries which is less complicated?
