New search modifiers
As the list of cards to sift through grows ever larger, some new search modifiers to fine tune our queries would be much appreciated. Below I have listed four examples.
Elipse modifier: used to allow a quoted search query to fill in a blank between two parts of the quotes. Example: "Target ... ability" will search for "target activated ability" and "target triggered ability" just the same without needing OR modifiers or doing multiple searches.
Include modifier: used to specify that a word or phrase may be any umbrella term or phrase that includes the proceeding type. Example: "destroy target ... [include: enchantment]" will find "destroy target permanent," "destroy target nonland permanent," "destroy target artifact or enchantment," et cetera all in a single query.
Reminder modifier: this is used to find all keywords that have reminder text including the words or phrase listed within the modifier. Example: Reminder("from your graveyard") will find each card with the keywords: scavenge, unearth, flashback, persist, dredge, escape, et cetera.
Lastly, the Exclude modifier: this is used to differentiate searches that could be confused with similar keywords (eg you want to search for counters but not counterspells, or flash but not flashback). Example 1: counters(exclude: "counter target") will find only cards that have at minimum one instance of the word "counter" that is not followed by the word target. Example 2: Flash(exclude: flashback) will find cards with flash while filtering out cards with flashback.
