Finally discovered one not on the list :D
Quest for the Holy Relic belongs in White Tutors, Equipment Tutors, Tutors to Battlefield, and Jumping through Hoops categories.

Maybe it isn't considered a tutor, but I'd put Guided Passage in the Jumping through hoops category.

Awesome list!
I wanted to add Jester's Cap to the colourless list. It's ability to tutor three cards from your deck to exile is handy with Karn, the Great Creator's second ability.

Just to put it out there, in war of the spark Finale of Devastation was added and is a very good green tutor. (I know the list is only updated to pre WAR but I wanted to put it out there for people who use this list)
Anyhow thanks for the list it's quite useful when building commander decks :)

What’s the difference between “Tutors for Tribal Cards” and “Tutors by Creature Type”? All the cards from the former are included in the latter, so why not just combine them into one or the other?
Also, I’d add the Harbingers, Boggart Harbinger, Elvish Harbinger, Faerie Harbinger, Flamekin Harbinger, Giant Harbinger, Kithkin Harbinger, Merrow Harbinger, and Treefolk Harbinger.
Also, my search for Harbingers turned up Nahiri, the Harbinger, which goes in “Notable For: Jumping Through Hoops,” and Yanling's Harbinger, which brings up the Planeswalker Deck tutors. Sure, people are unlikely to run them, but some might.
I’d also like to suggest a category: Combo Tutors. These are the ones that are part of a combo AND search for another one of the pieces. Ones that come to mind are Godo, Bandit Warlord and Forerunner of the Empire. Godo tutors for Helm of the Host, which he goes infinite with, and Forerunner tutors for Polyraptor, and from then you simply need to give Forerunner indestructible and then play Polyraptor to go infinite with.
Lastly, I’d suggest changing “Tutors to Graveyard” to “Tutors w/ Graveyard Synergies,” so you can include cards like Mausoleum Secrets, Fiend Artisan and Diabolic Intent, which interact with the grave while not tutoring TO the grave. Dimir House Guard would still go here, since his tutor effect merely discards him, he IS a sac outlet, and many graveyard deck will still desire him for it.

In "Searches for Lands", lacks Elvish Reclaimer and Ulvenwald Hydra

I've found this list really helpful whilst drafting decks over the last few years, thanks for putting it together!

TIL that emojis aren't parsed properly by TappedOut even though they appear fine in the preview! Let's try again...
I've found this list really helpful whilst drafting decks over the last few years, thanks for putting it together! :) Judging by the 400,000 views that this has had I'm guessing I'm not the only person who feels that way :D
Since this list hasn't been updated since pre-WAR, I thought I'd put together a pretty comprehensive list of all tutors released since then (including all of the tutors mentioned in the comments above). Hopefully putting it in one place will make it easier to update! Note - as per the list you've curated, I've excluded any tutors that fetch specific cards (e.g. Yanling's Harbinger) or basic lands. I've also left off the card types and colours since there's already enough text in the comment and it can be seen from the preview. Right - on with the list!
CARD: TUTOR FOR - ANY COMMENTS/SUGGESTED CATEGORIES

It wasn't entirely clear to me what categories the below cards should go under since they search for specific card subtypes:
- Opposition Agent: ??? (This sort of counts as a 'tutor your opponents decks' card!)
- Runed Crown: Rune - 'searches for tribal cards'?
- Runeforge Champion: Rune - 'searches for tribal cards'?
- Sanctum of All: Shrines - 'searches for tribal cards'?
- Search for Glory: Snow/legendary/saga - could go under a few sections?
- Spirit of the Aldergard: Land - 'searches for tribal cards'?
Seeing as the three creators of this list haven't been on TappedOut in at least 8 months I'm guessing that this comment won't go anywhere, but at least it's all in one place for people to search for later. I'm happy to help maintain and update this list if I'm given access. (If I haven't heard back in a couple of months then I might look at creating a copy of this list and linking it here for anyone looking for an up-to-date list of tutors.)

I would definitely add Rhystic Tutor to this list in Black. :) 3 cmc. anything to hand, so long as an opponent can not pay 2.
March 19, 2021 3:33 p.m.
Rhystic Tutor is staggeringly bad. I'd run Diabolic Tutor over it ten times out of ten, and I've even started to cut that from decks. The odds of someone paying the 2 are quite high. I know from experience.

Since it's been over a year since the last update to this I've gone ahead and made an updated version with the suggestions above - List of EDH Tutor Cards - updated. I'll add the Innistrad tutors once both MID and VOW are out. (At some point I'll need to learn how to use TappedOut formatting a little better, but that's a job for future-me assuming that this list never gets updated!)
(Side note - Epochalyptik, sonnet666, and thegigibeast, I've got the additions from the last year written down separately if you want to use them to update this list. I'll continue to do so in case you ever come back!)

Added. Along with the other MH tutors.
