I'm using scryfall to research cards for a deck with Durnan of the Yawning Portal as the commander. Therefore I want to do scryfall searches on green and/or blue creatures with mana costs that contain 2 or 3 generic mana. But I don't know how and i can't find it in the scryfall help or using google. Does anyone here know how to do this?

Did you use the Advanced Search? It seems you would have to do more than one search since they don't seem to have a way to search for partial mana costs, so it would be like:

Creature, Exactly Green, {2}{G}
Creature, Exactly Green, {3}{G}
Creature, Exactly Blue, {2}{U}
Creature, Exactly Green, {3}{U}
Creature, Exactly Blue Green, {2}{G}{U}
etc.

If you don't use "exactly" on the color, you get a ton of colorless results (for example: Creature, Including Blue Green, {3}) and the "mana cost" finder has no option of "includes" instead of exact - so you'll have to search each permutation of the mana cost - or just use Gatherer or MTGO which are both much easier for this.
