 * See [Querying models](http://docs.strongloop.com/display/DOC/Querying+models) for more information.
 *
 * For example, find the second page of ten users over age 21 in descending order exluding the password property.

 * ```
 *
 * @options {Object} [query] Optional JSON object that specifies query criteria and parameters.
 * @property {Object} where Search criteria in JSON format `{ key: val, key2: {gt: 'val2'}}`.
 * Operations:
 * - gt: >
 * - gte: >=
 * - lt: <
 * - lte: <=
 * - between
 * - inq: IN

 * - neq: !=
 * - like: LIKE

 * - nilike: NOT ILIKE
 * - regexp: REGEXP
 *
 * You can also use `and` and `or` operations.  See [Querying models](http://docs.strongloop.com/display/DOC/Querying+models) for more information.
 * @property {String|Object|Array} include Allows you to load relations of several objects and optimize numbers of requests.
 * Format examples;
 * - `'posts'`: Load posts
 * - `['posts', 'passports']`: Load posts and passports
 * - `{'owner': 'posts'}`: Load owner and owner's posts
 * - `{'owner': ['posts', 'passports']}`: Load owner, owner's posts, and owner's passports
 * - `{'owner': [{posts: 'images'}, 'passports']}`: Load owner, owner's posts, owner's posts' images, and owner's passports
 * See `DataAccessObject.include()`.
 * @property {String} order Sort order.  Format: `'key1 ASC, key2 DESC'`
 * @property {Number} limit Maximum number of instances to return.
 * @property {Number} skip Number of instances to skip.
 * @property {Number} offset Alias for `skip`.
 * @property {Object|Array|String} fields Included/excluded fields.
 * - `['foo']` or `'foo'` - include only the foo property
 *  - `['foo', 'bar']` - include the foo and bar properties.  Format:
 *  - `{foo: true}` - include only foo
 * - `{bat: false}` - include all properties, exclude bat
 *
 * @param {Function} cb Optional callback function.  Call this function with two arguments: `err` (null or Error) and an array of instances.
 * @return {Promise} results If no callback function is provided, a promise (which resolves to an array of instances) is returned
