Description
The indexes are currently dealing just fine with queries that sort by property and / or value, but we don't support queries that iterate over all values (code)
I'm not sure if we should support these at all. The indexes can become absolutely huge. At this moment, we simply throw an error if a user watches such a query request.

Research direction
Read lib/src/db/query_index.rs around lines 35 and 267 first. Determine whether queries that iterate over all values should be supported despite potentially huge indexes, and define the expected behavior for watched requests. Done means the chosen policy is implemented and the resulting behavior is verified.
