Here is the btcd help for searchrawtransactions so you can see if it does what you need. Personally I have found it very useful and speedy.
$ ./btcctl help searchrawtransactions
searchrawtransactions "address" (verbose=1 skip=0 count=100 vinextra=0 reverse=false ["filteraddr",...])
Returns raw data for transactions involving the passed address.
Returned transactions are pulled from both the database, and transactions currently in the mempool.
Transactions pulled from the mempool will have the 'confirmations' field set to 0.
Usage of this RPC requires the optional --addrindex flag to be activated, otherwise all responses will simply return with an error stating the address index has not yet been built.
Similarly, until the address index has caught up with the current best height, all requests will return an error response in order to avoid serving stale data.
Arguments:
1. address (string, required) The Bitcoin address to search for
2. verbose (numeric, optional, default=1) Specifies the transaction is returned as a JSON object instead of hex-encoded string
3. skip (numeric, optional, default=0) The number of leading transactions to leave out of the final response
4. count (numeric, optional, default=100) The maximum number of transactions to return
5. vinextra (numeric, optional, default=0) Specify that extra data from previous output will be returned in vin
6. reverse (boolean, optional, default=false) Specifies that the transactions should be returned in reverse chronological order
7. filteraddrs (array of string, optional) Address list. Only inputs or outputs with matching address will be returned
