Search enhancements?

I've been looking through all of these customizations, but I can't seem to find the guide search enhancements I'm looking for. Do any STVs:

(1) provide for a "persistant" search. For example, let's say I'd like to record the movie "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," and I know that it is shown from time to time on one of the channels I get, but I'm too lazy to keep an eye out for it. Is there an enhancement that will store my search request, check it again every time the program guide is updated, and then notify me with an alert when it finds a match?

(2) Allow for movie search by ratings? The guide descriptions for movies often include asterisk ratings, and it would be nice to search for movies that are ***, ***+ or ****

(3) Let you put category filters on searches (e.g. search only movie titles)?

Finally, although the IMDB search add-in is great, how about something similar for Rotten Tomatoes? Man, would I love it if I could get an add-in that would go through the online guide, pull out all of the movies currently listed, extract Tomatometer ratings for those that have one, and then show me a list of movies with a rating of 80 or higher. Or for that matter, movies with an IMDB user rating of 7.5 of higher.

Just wishing.....

Is there anyone to whom I should be addressing these wishes?

For 1 & 2:

1) You can use a Keyword Favorite.
2) You can use Search All Fields, though ** will also find movies w/more than 2 stars.

I would like to go through the upcoming movies and
1. only have the movies show up once
2. only have them show movies frompremium channels.

right now going through over 6000 upcoming movies is too ridiculous...
