r154 (bumps to 0.0.34) adds a basic filter language.

You can do queries like 

(for contacts)
company contains 'taxi'
firstname startswith 'nic' and lastname endswith 'er'
firstname = 'john' and not lastname 'brown'
firstname = 'alex' and birthday > 1980-01-01
city1 = 'glasgow'
custom1 contains 'the'

(for tasks)
due > today
due <= yesterday and priority > 2
description contains 'pineapple'
complete = false and priority > 3 and due > 2005-10-10

and of course the normal category filter applies. You can't specify
category in the filter string itself though, yet (until someone asks
for that.)

enjoy!
