[Developers] MQLRead Query to Replicate Search Service

[Shawn Simister]

What about using UMQL to send a batch of queries to the relevance 
engine? Something like this 
<http://umql.dfhuynh.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/read?queries=%7B%22q1%22:%7B%22query%22:%5B%7B%22/service/relevance%22:%7B%22pattern%22:%22the%20police%22%7D,%22*%22:null%7D%5D%7D,%22q2%22:%7B%22query%22:%5B%7B%22/service/relevance%22:%7B%22pattern%22:%22the%20eagles%22%7D,%22*%22:null%7D%5D%7D%7D>? 
I think that would be equivalent to the what you'd get from the search API.
