Search on Date Entered

I am trying to get the date entered for a few different searches:
1) Search contacts by date entered so I can see how many were entered since a certain date
2) Search contributions based on date entered. I added contributions and entered them all "received" for a specific date but I would like to see what days there were actually added which I know exists because of the change log.

There is a custom search but it will only display results for the day the contact was created- what about contribution dates or other activity dates?

Hmm, had a think about this and I can't think of any obvious way that would be possible.  Did you check to see if the contribution reports offer what you want?  It might be that if they don't extending those reports is the best way to get the date the contribution was added.

It isn't clear to me whether 1 and 2 are seperate searches or two characteristics of the same search. If you wanted to add 1 as a criteria in 2, you can potentially do so by saving as a group, and then including that group in the contribution report. If they are seperate, then I presume that you can do 1 (given what you said in your last sentence) and you only need to find a solution for 2, which I think is difficult but not impossible via extending the report (as described above).

They are separate searches so I have figured out 1 but need to figure out #2. Can you point me in the direction of information on extending the reports so I may do that?
Thanks
