Answers.Text: I also figured that a combination of 'contribution' last made smart groups and 'activity -> membership status changed' smart groups can fill in the gap.

  I'm trying to search for contributions made in the previous 4 months.
  
  Example - We are in October, but I want to be able to see if people have contributed since June 1.
  
  I can search by previous month (Sept), previous 2 months (Aug), and the previous quarter (July), but am not sure how to search from the previous 4 months.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thanks!

  You can always search by selecting "Choose Date Range" and entering dates manually (see screenshot below).
  
  If you're looking to use a relative date filter because you need this to be in a report or smart group, then that date filter doesn't currently exist.
  
  **However:** I am actively working on making it possible to create your own date filters ([CRM-16195](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-16195))! I am waiting on someone to review some [preliminary cleanup](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/10941) I did a couple of weeks ago. Once the cleanup is approved, I will submit a change so that custom date filters can be added by an extension. I already have an extension written that will handle your scenario.
