 ### Search Filter Modifiers
 
-The where clauses showcased in the previous two sections (filter and exclude) specify case-insensitive exact 
+The where clauses showcased in the previous two sections (filter and exclude) specify exact 
 matches by default. However, there are a number of suffixes that you can put on field names to change this 
 behaviour `":StartsWith"`, `":EndsWith"`, `":PartialMatch"`, `":GreaterThan"`, `":LessThan"`, `":Negation"`.
 
 Each of these suffixes is represented in the ORM as a subclass of `[api:SearchFilter]`. Developers can define
 their own SearchFilters if needing to extend the ORM filter and exclude behaviours.
 
+These suffixes can also take modifiers themselves. The modifiers currently supported are `":not"`, `":nocase"`
+and `":case"`. These negate the filter, make it case-insensitive and make it case-sensitive respectively. The
+default comparison uses the database's default. For MySQL and MSSQL, this is case-insensitive. For PostgreSQL,
+this is case-sensitive.
+
 The following is a query which will return everyone whose first name doesn't start with S, who has logged in 
 since 1/1/2011.
