 * I’m searching for a plugin that will give me an array of posts based on some 
   search criteria. It will allow me to search by either an SQL query (eg. select*
   from …) or by content (eg. all posts with the content …).
 * Does something like this exist? Basically, I have some posts that are indexes
   of other posts, and I want to list all posts that match that index automatically.

 * No problemo, I made my own plugin 🙂 anyone who wants it, can email me. You punch
   in:
 * FindPosts(“some text here”)
 * …. and it lists all the posts, with their links 🙂

 * email you where.. you dont have a url in your profile, and you dont provide an
   email address. How fruitless is that.

 * It’s not available for public consumption; it makes a lot of assumptions about
   the permalink structure, for example. If anyone’s interested, email me at [ashes999@yahoo.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-for-posts-by-sql/ashes999@yahoo.com?output_format=md)
   and I’ll see about writing a generalizable one.
