How to build a user input driven query screen?

I need to create a screen that looks somewhat like this: A look-alike of the screen that I need to build

Seems weird to me that having more user-driven search terms isn't part of the native functionality of the platform, does this have to be developed in VisualForce?

You can use information from a user in your query using the Database.query(String); function. You build the SOQL query as a string and use that to call the data from the system. You do want to make sure you use the escapeSingleQuotes() function when you get the information from the user to avoid SQL Injection risks.

You can do this using visualforce page and controller shoulnt be a problem.
