What I use to do is first make a search interface and then modify it to suit
my needs (remove search fields, add hidden fields, do some data mangling in
the report, add conditionals etc). Usually it ends up quite different than
it started ;-). I think this is the easiest way. It probably is the most
secure way also, because you have something working to start with and can go
forward from that.

If you have sophisticated needs to change your result sets, you may consider
using python classes to chew on them first. I never found a need for that
yet, though.

Hope this helps
