Making each performance figure a field with search logic would seem
useful. Rather than "ground vehicle", a particular user might specify
"gSpeed >= 30 and gSR >= 3".

This doesn't help you _categorise_ them, of course, though you could
specify "gSpeed exists, aSpeed doesn't exist" for a fair approximation
of "ground vehicles".
