I can't seem to find the correct way to do this. I've tried this within hook_civicrm_buildForm:

require_once 'HTML/QuickForm/text.php';
$element = new HTML_QuickForm_text('smart_group_title'); //the name is unique and different than what I have here
$form->addElement($element);

The element appears in the $form object but doesn't appear on the page as a text input.

I want to have users be able to change the name/title of a Smart Group as well as edit the search criteria all in one page.

An alternate way to achieve this would be to output only the search criteria and the actions drop-down on a custom page. Is this possible? Is there a CiviCRM function akin to drupal_get_form?

you might want to quickly skim thru:

In addition to implementing the hook, u need to customize the template

There is no direct equivalent of drupal_get_form, but adding a wrapper function to have something similar is probably not too hard and will be useful for drupal folks. If interested in working on this please ping us on IRC and we can get u started. Note that civicrm does not use drupal's form api
