What is an effective way to get all gold crowns?
I'm trying to get every achievement before the release of Iceborne on PC. And, I'm sure you guessed it, the only ones left on my list are "Miniature Crown Master" and "Giant Crown Master".
I've gotten a fair chunk of gold crowns so far (both small and big) and doing the event quests (Coral Waltz, Deep Green Blues...) aren't really worth it anymore.
I've heard that you need investigations with at least one silver and one gold reward to have a chance to spawn a gold crown monster. Is it true? Are there any more investigation parameters I should be on the look out for?
Basically, is there any way I can manually filter my investigations to find ones that have a (higher) chance of gold crowns?

It seems that there is a wide consensus on what you heard about the investigations. Though it seems to increase the chance to have a gold crown monster if the investigation has at least one gold and one silver reward, it is not necessarily limited to it. As I don't remember all my gold crowns, I will neither say its true or false that gold crowns can spawn outside of those investigations.
Additionally, there are some event quests that will ensure a gold crown in both directions (Great Jagras quest comes to mind). Sadly, those quests do not exist for all monsters. Also I think that the sizes for monsters in event quests is fixed. This means that the same quest will always have the exact same sizes (maybe mild variations; don't have proof).
Lastly, you can watch this video or have a look at all these videos for more efficient gold crown farming.
And to address you final question. There is no way to filter investigations in the way you want. It's just trial and error with the investigations we know that have a higher likelyhood of gold crown monsters

How do you get a gold crown?
Gold crowns in MHW are awarded when you capture or kill exceptionally large or exceptionally small monsters. The miniature crown is for exceptionally small monsters, while you can get silver and gold crowns for exceptionally large ones. It's very easy to tell which kind of crown you've just received, too.How long does it take to get all crowns MHW?
It took me less than 100 hours of sniping to get all the gold crowns. It is still RNG based but this is the fastest method to obtain them all.How do you get a gold crown in Deviljho?
You should use the special event quests that offer higher chances for crown monsters to spawn. For monsters that don't have such an option available to them, use investigations. Either event quests that give an increased chance for crowns or investigations. Optionals are a waste of time for crown hunting.Gold Crown Farming: Complete Strategy Guide - Monster Hunter World

Another useful Tip if you are trying to get good crowns on monsters is to use tools that show Things like Monster HP and Size.
I am using the tool "Smart Hunter" and it shows me the monsters Hit-points and the Hp of it's body parts as well as other useful things like player damage on an monster.
Smart Hunter does also show the size of an monster indicated with the according crown symbol under it's name, which could be small silver/gold crown or large silver/gold crown.
As far as I know those helping Tools are not forbidden to use, since they do not alter your account and I did never hear any negative feedback about Smart Hunter so far.
What I do when I am looking for a specific crown is: I enter a quest, regardless if it's an investigation or one of those event quests and look if the monster in it has any gold crown size. This saves me a lot of time, since I can easily sort out quest with monsters that don't have the right size. (since doing the same investigation twice gives you a monster with the same size)
