In 2.1, we added a new task query method to the WorkflowService API…

public List<WorkflowTask> queryTasks(WorkflowTaskQuery query); ‍

The query predicates include:

- task id
- task type (e.g. review)
- task state (in progress, completed)
- task assignee
- task custom properties
- process id
- process name (e.g. review & approve)
- process active
- process custom properties

However, there isn't support for full text query on task properties - exact match only.

Workflow history (in task dialogs), the "All Tasks Dashlet" etc use this API.

In 2.2, we should also have a Javascript equivalent of the WorkflowService.
