So it's a 'find all matching transactions' feature (I haven't used
Quicken in a while)?

You're pretty much stuck with either C or guile :) There is a Query
utility in src/engine that the register code already uses to grab all
the transactions it's going to display. I think you could extend this
with the ability to add external 'filters' to do the kind of searching
you are talking about. The Query code is C, but, if you want to use
guile, it's easy to wrap C functions for guile use. I believe the current
Query code is already wrapped.
