Properly document defining query?

[TristanApc]

Could there be an example in the documentation with a defining query and not just one executing a view? Additionally, I'm curious to know whether or not it's possible to generate the query or add filters to it dynamically by passing some parameter. As an example, I would like to pass some parameters that would change the query to perform additional filtering. These filtered elements aren't necessarily part of the class but they affect the result.

Same here, shame there is no response to this.

Documentation could be better on that part.

Meanwhile, this Stack Overflow post can be helpful:

Once we have this page, we should add links from the keyless entity types article.

Dead feature? Are we documenting it?

@smitpatel It's not dead, it's evolving.
