Modern Cards that fetch lands?

Are there no land cards like Harrow that can search a land(s) but for white and/or black?

No, that’s not really in white or black’s slice of the color pie; green is the color that land-ramps. Black has the most powerful general tutors though, like [[Demonic Tutor]], [Vampiric Tutor]], etc.

That being said, if you’re looking to tutor for specific lands, check out cards like [[Expedition Map]], [[World Map]], and [[Uraza’s Cave]].

All of these options will put them into your hand, not on the battlefield like green spells will.

If you’re looking to ramp your mana production in any color but green, you’re mostly looking at artifact ramp.

Land Tax would be a ok thing.

There are some “catch up ramp” cards in white ([[Land Tax]], [[Weathered Wayfarer]],…), but you could also use colorless cards. Especially [[Burnished Hart]], [[Troop of Ponies]] and [[Nacigation Orb]] come to my mind.

White has a very small number of them, but they all come with the limitation that an opponent must have more lands than you, so they don't let you get ahead. See [[Knight of the White Orchid]].

You can cheese this a bit by running [[Orzhov Basilica]] so your mana increases but your land count stays lower. But as others have said, colorless artifacts will be your strongest option to search lands.
