I'm not exactly sure where this post should go, so I'm trying my luck here. I am looking for creature cards, or a quick way to search for them, that have multiple keywords, similar to Chromanticore. The more keywords, the better. I'm wanting them to have at least 3, but trying to search that on gatherer, so far, seems to be very tedious and frustrating. It's just a bunch of guess and check, changing what you put in, omitting combinations you've already used, stupid things like that. but if anyone has a list of some such creatures, or knows of an efficient way to search for these cards, please let me know. thank you for your time.

I have most of the high-CMC ones memorized as reanimation/Hypergenesis targets, from a time when Hypergenesis was playable and before Griselbrand became the stock reanimation target. Flying + trample and flying + haste seem to be pretty common from my searches.

Highlight the above line and paste into your address bar (since MTGS's linking doesn't like the square brackets and breaks the link).
Note: Gatherer's pagination doesn't like the regex, so you can't click page 2/3, you have to change the page=# in the URL to switch pages.
I don't think this search has any false positives, but it does have false negatives. Notably, anything with keywords including a space isn't captured by this search: double strike, protection from X, etc. It also won't catch a card with multiple keywords on separate lines of text (eg, Benthic Infiltrator has "Devoid" and "Ingest" on separate lines, and this search won't catch it because it's not "Devoid, ingest" on a single line).
Like Lithl said Benthic Infiltrator won't show up and change pages in the URL directly.
a|b = your abilities with | inbetween (replace spaces with \s)
landwalk ablilities like islandwalk, swampwalk... -> \w+walk
protection ablities like protection from red... -> protection\sfrom\s\w+
example:
a|b = flying|first\sstrike|double\sstrike|deathtouch|haste|hexproof|indestructible|\w+walk|lifelink|protection\sfrom\s\w+|trample|vigilance

I think you're probably out of luck unless someone knows a good regex way to implement the search.

For two keywords:

For three keywords:
