graphical searches in dashboards

[Michael_Schyma1]

Is it possible and if so how, to create a user friendly dashboard that will allow the user to do easy searches based on username, telephone, partial name based on certain time ranges? I have about 20 searches that I need to integrate into a easy to use interface.
