Newest Constructor Tool is now called Auto Finder
Easily get results that used to require software coding skills.
Based on lots of feedback, the tool has a new name and significant new capabilities. No more mention of RegEx, just kick off Finder searches based on descriptions you type. The biggest change is it now handles two-pass searches, like find words that are other words when transformed in some way.
It's still in beta so it's still in development, and you need to be a beta member to use it fully, but anyone can try out the list of examples to see how it works.
