Free form search and order tools

Would love to see a free-form search tool, where we can specify various criteria and have on-demand sorting by any of the criteria. What I am describing is similar to "big-data" type tool where you can ask questions about your data on the fly...

So for example, drag and drop a few fields.  Provider, country, genre, yr.   Pick and choose criteria, and then choose ways to sort based on a particular field.  This way a user can customize their search criteria on demand vs only the ones you provide.   Later take the most "popular" search criteria configurations and make those a one-click type search for all users (kind of like a search tag cloud).
