We have had a few requests from folks to extend the search code with their own SQL queries while taking advantage of the tasks available with search (print, mailing labels, export, smart groups, adding to group etc). This has been on our list of things to do, but we had not made any progress. Some example where this would be useful are:
Give me the set of all household's who have a household member residing in district X. More details here. The search form can be set to just include a text box for the household name and a multi-select element for the district to restrict the search criteria
Give me the set of contact(s) who have donated more than an input amount in this date range.
Various combinations of AND/OR/NOT which civicrm search does not handle.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMPledgeBank is a powerful tool for encouraging people to take action and to positively pressure their friends, family, and neighbors to join them... by creating conditional pledges of the form, 'I will do X but only if N people will do X too.' For example, 'I will vote in the next presidental election but only if 25 young American adults will do the same' or 'I will donate my clothes and shoes that don't fit me or that I haven't worn in the past 3 months to a local homeless shelter but only if 10 other people will do the same.
