In larger data sets, for us it's Search Keywords and similar groups, it would be nice to use the existing grouping feature with more control by using contains or excludes logic with the ability to use AND or OR logic within each group. Example: I have a keyword list and I want to create a brand group, but have several brands (Contains 'Microsoft' or 'Xbox' or 'Windows' or 'Azure'). Similar generic cloud keyword group (Contains 'Cloud' AND Excludes 'Azure').

RE: Group Using Contains Logic

Please please implement this. The ability to search a column when applied as a page level filter already exists.
Also, grouping across multiple columns or sub-groups would be really useful too.
For example:
Level 1 :Cars, Level 2 : Ford & Porsche, Level 3 : Saloon, Level 4: Blue Colour

RE: Group Using Contains Logic

PLEASE DO THIS!! I have list of thousands of subsidiary companies that I need to group by the shareholder parent. Being able to search and group using logic would be so so helpful!!
