Service class to find beans. For the most part this class
offers user friendly utility methods for interacting with the
OODB::find() method, which is rather complex. This class can be
used to find beans using plain old SQL queries.
/**
* Tries to find beans matching the specified type and
* criteria set.
*
* If the optional additional SQL snippet is a condition, it will
* be glued to the rest of the query using the AND operator.
*
* @param string $type type of bean to search for
* @param array $like optional criteria set describing the bean to search for
* @param string $sql optional additional SQL for sorting
*
* @return array

/**
* @see Facade::find
