My idea is:
be able to do searches like this:
last\_active=\>2020-08-19
some\_date\_field\<=2020-08-19
some\_datetime\_field\<2020-08-19 14:24:32
some\_numeric\_field\<5
I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea:
People needing to take one time actions on contacts based on those operators.
Why I think they would benefit from this idea:
Because creating segments and campaigns to perform actions on large sets of contacts is a pain now.
PS: this would not be useful unless this is done too:

> My idea is: Select All Results on contacts list: I think an ability to select the entire result set of a contact search then taking actions on them like it already allows to do. For a result set of 5000 contacts theres no quick and easy way to apply the actions you can apply to a single page of contact results. I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea: Anyone that wants to add contacts to segments and other actions based on a contact search result. Because creating segmen…
Any code or resources to support this idea:
No
Are you willing to work on this idea?:
Maybe
What skills and resources do you need to explore this further?
I’m not sure I have to find the current contact search code area of Mautic.

There was a segment tester plugin with similar functionality:
