 ### Filters
 
-Filters can be passed to the matrix as an array of strings, in `MatrixFilters` parameter, each matching the format of `<key>=<regex>`.
+Filters can be passed to the matrix as an array of strings in the `MatrixFilters` parameter,each matching the format of `<key>=<regex>`.
 When a matrix combination does not contain the specified key, it will default to a value of empty string for regex parsing.
 
-Interpreting missing key in given combination as a key with value being empty string enables following scenarios:
+Filters support filtering for scenarios in which some parameter values are missing. Specifically, you can do the following:
 
-* filter for combinations that do _not_ have a given parameter;
-* filter for combinations in which when a given parameter with a given key exists, it needs to have a specific value.
+1. filter for combinations that do _not_ have a given parameter;
+2. filter for combinations in which when a given parameter with a given key exists, it needs to have a specific value.
+
+Given the filters are regexs, to make these two scenarios possible a missing parameter is treated
+as a parameter whose key is present but value is an empty string.  
+For an example of case 1., if you want to exclude combinations that do not have parameter named `AbsentParam`
+(or, equivalently: you want to include only combinations that do have this parameter), you can create a filter
+with regex `AbsentParam=^$`.  
+For an example of case 2., if you want to include only combinations that either have `OptionalEnumParam` set to `foo` or `bar`,
+or don't have it at all, you can include filter of form `OptionalEnumParam=foo|bar|^$`
 
 Display name filters can also be passed as a single regex string that runs against the [generated display name](#generated-display-name) of the matrix job.
-The intent of display name filters is to be defined primarily as a top level variable at template queue time in the azure pipelines UI. It cannot be passed as parameter to the matrix generator template archetype, [`archetype-sdk-tests-generate.yml`](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/blob/main/eng/common/pipelines/templates/jobs/archetype-sdk-tests-generate.yml).
