+/**
+ * "findByCriteria" operation working on ContentRepository nodes. This operation allows for retrieval of descendant nodes
+ *
+ *  Argument 1 (string|null): nodeTypeFilter, A list of NodeType Names seperated by ",", disallowed NodeTypes are prefixed with "!"
+ *
+ *  Argument 2 (string|null): propertyValueCriteria A property criteria in the form
+ *
+ *  property criteria are specified as "<property> <operator> <value>". Multiple criteria can be combined using "AND", "OR", "NOT" and "()"
+ *
+ *
+ *  property criteria support the following comparison operators:
+ *
+ *  =~  : Strict equality of case-insensitive value and operand
+ *  =   : Strict equality of value and operand
+ *  !=~ : Strict inequality of case-insensitive value and operand
+ *  !=  : Strict inequality of value and operand
+ *  <   : Value is less than operand
+ *  <=  : Value is less than or equal to operand
+ *  >   : Value is greater than operand
+ *  >=  : Value is greater than or equal to operand
+ *  $=~ : Value ends with operand (string-based) or case-insensitive value's last element is equal to operand (array-based)
+ *  $=  : Value ends with operand (string-based) or value's last element is equal to operand (array-based)
+ *  ^=~ : Value starts with operand (string-based) or case-insensitive value's first element is equal to operand (array-based)
+ *  ^=  : Value starts with operand (string-based) or value's first element is equal to operand (array-based)
+ *  *=~ : Value contains operand (string-based) or case-insensitive value contains an element that is equal to operand (array based)
+ *  *=  : Value contains operand (string-based) or value contains an element that is equal to operand (array based)
+ *
+ * criteria can be combined using "AND" and "OR":
+ *
+ *   "prop1 ^= 'foo' AND (prop2 = 'bar' OR prop3 = 'baz')"
+ *
+ *  furthermore "NOT" can be used to negate a whole sub query
+ *
+ *   "prop1 ^= 'foo' AND NOT (prop2 = 'bar' OR prop3 = 'baz')"
+ *
+ * Argument 3 ({limit?:int, offset?:int}}): Pagination of the date
+ *
+ *
+ * Example (node type):
+ *
+ *  q(node).findByCriteria('Neos.NodeTypes:Text')
+ *
+ * Example (multiple node types):
+ *
+ *  q(node).findByCriteria('Neos.NodeTypes:Text,Neos.NodeTypes:Image')
+ *
+ * Example (node type with property filter):
+ *
+ *  q(node).findByCriteria('Neos.NodeTypes:Text', 'text*="Neos"')
+ *
+ *  Example (node type with property filter and pagination):
+ *
+ *   q(node).findByCriteria('Neos.NodeTypes:Document', 'title*="Flow"', {limit:10, offset:2})
