Yes. That is what we call "complex queries". The drawback of them (at
least as they are designed right now) is that they are not instant. So
we cannot use that for searching images on Commons as you will always
want an instant result for a pretty much arbitrary search. This is an
issue I've been thinking about for a while now and that we will
definitely need to find an answer to. Discussions to have in the next
weeks...
