How to get workItemId by summary?

Hi
I want to search a work Item by summary?
I don't want to pull all the work Item and do search in the summary?

Is there any way i can get the list of work item ID whose summary matches to a text without pulling all the work Items .
I mean without using this code:-
        IQueryResult<IResolvedResult<IWorkItem>> results =
                queryClient.getResolvedExpressionResults(projectArea, expression,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);

                while(results.hasNext(progressMonitor)){
                workItem1= results.next(progressMonitor).getItem();
                String summary=workItem1.getHTMLSummary();
        }

Above displayed code pulls all the work Item which I don't prefer because it is slow and I don't want to pull all the work items cause it might make java run out of memory.

Any kind of suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks

you would have to use a different expression operation..

use the summary field, operation contains, and text data

Thanks Sam
You are a live saver It did work with the concept you gave

For other who might need this code:
        Expression ismyType = new AttributeExpression(type1,AttributeOperation.CONTAINS, summary);
            IQueryResult<IResolvedResult<IWorkItem>> resultsResolvedss= queryClient.getResolvedExpressionResults(projectArea, ismyType, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);

            workItem1=null;
            System.out.println("trail"+resultsResolvedss.getTotalSize(progressMonitor));
            while(resultsResolvedss.hasNext(progressMonitor)){
                workItem1= resultsResolvedss.next(progressMonitor).getItem();
                int workItemID=workItem1.getId();
                    System.out.println("^*^ "+workItemID+"    "+workItem1.getHTMLSummary().getPlainText());

            }

It's all about the answers!
