Madji, the results and horse information is stored in a relational database, so performing those queries like those are quite simple, building the search features to be configurable into our web front end is the challenge, are we doing it? Yes.
We demo'd the power of the global search feature to a few people offline last year as it was applied to the horse population and breeding, not form. As an example you could search for "grey filly or mare" and you'd see all horses that match that description in SA, add to that "grey silvano filly mare Wins>=1" and you'd see it constrained to Silvanos, grey ones that have won at least one race. Basic example. You can search for basically anything in the SA horse population. We are adding this feature back into the released website very soon.
Applying these searches to form isn't much different. In all honesty I don't see these custom form searches being implemented in the next month at all, but definitely in the next 3 months, purely due to the complexity of building the web interface for it.
However if you have queries post them here and I'll happily post results/findings until we have the front end sorted out.
