Build a search query to return all datum reference features containing intent surfaces

I have been trying to build a search query to find all datum reference features with intent surfaces in a model. I can not figure out which of the search criteria would do this. 

 

It appears that datum reference features are not explicitly handled by the search tool as a feature type. I can find all intent surfaces in a model using search function but that is a superset of what I want.

 

Is anyone aware of a good reference document for the search tool?

I think you can strip-out intent chains by using the "and" operator to add on to the query below with one that looks for features with (intent) surfaces:

Will this work?

This works but is still going to return a superset of the desired features in the general case. This is better than finding all of the intent surfaces in a model but this includes all datum reference features (e.g. intent chains), not just those with intent surfaces. It has pointed me to the feature type criteria to explore more in this context.
