Own Query language for non-technical Users, any frameworks known?

Hello

We have the challenge to introduce for our database applications a
dynmaic search for the end users. The end users are non-technical
users.

I am looking therefore for possibilities which would allow to build own
query language with expressions according to the need and skills for
the users.

I found one product so far. "EasyAsk - Decision Adviser". does somebody
know also other tools or frameworks which can be integrated?

http://www.easyask.com/product*s/decision-advisor.cfm

The environment is currently MS SQL Servers and C# Webservices.My
vision is to have a framework or library which can be seamless
integrated into our existing solutions which is currently a smart C#
clients. i.e. by using web-service or an C# API.

thanks

SQL Server itself comes with English Query, but I have never looked at
it myself.
