Stopping pattern search when a target value is reached

This may be a feature request, rather than a question. I'd like to run pattern search until a particular target value is reached (not using a relative x or f criterion. I don't see an obvious way to do this --- does one exist?

Use an output function, and have the function set the stop value to true when the solver reaches the condition you want.
