queryByAttributes

For queryByAttributes(), your qstring can be a string even if your qitem
field is numeric.  Keep in mind that your query layer has to have a
TEMPLATE value (even the value "no template" will work).  Also, the
query only looks for shapes within the current extent of the map.  If
you want to query from all shapes, use setExtent() to set your map
extent to the extent of your query layer.

I pasted a quick (untested) example here:

Hope that helps,
