Hints needed: wildcard Greek search and/or find all words of a given TVM?

I am motivated to do some new Bible study, digging in hard in ways that are new to me. Sadly, I can't find a way to accomplish the searches I need.

SO... I'm hoping someone here has a hint or two!

What I want to do, just for example:

* Find all (greek) verb usage that fits certain T/V/M parameters, such as

Aorist AND Third Person
Aorist AND Imperative
etc

Happy to limit to one or more books to constrain search time.

My challenge: I have not discovered how, or whether, Logos supports any kind of wildcard search in greek or morphs. None of the examples and tutorials I've seen go into this type of thing.

I don't actually read greek, so I assume I need to be using lemmas to do this ... but am willing to go the extra mile to link greek and english verses after the fact.

Any/all help MUCH appreciated!

How about this article and video. Looks like it has what you need:

Thankful for Search having +Add Versions so Greek words found by Morph Search can have corresponding word highlighted in English. Greek verb conjugation changes spelling to show Tense, Voice, Mood, pronoun suffix (plus participles have noun spelling characteristics). Lemma is the Lexicon (Dictionary) entry for verb spelling of Present (Tense), Active (Voice), Indicative (Mood), First Person (1), Singular (S).

The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition is included in free => Lexham Intro Collection (5 vols.)

Aorist is the least expressive Greek verb tense showing action happened. Other tenses have more expressive: e.g. Perfect is completed action with ongoing results, Imperfect is continuous action in past time, Present is continuous action in present time.

My favorite Logos & Verbum application feature is Visual Filter Highlighting, which lets me "see" nuanced range of Greek verbal expression in resources having Logos Greek Morphology tagging (Original Language resources & Reverse Interlinear Bibles)

Logos Wiki Extended Tips for Highlighting and Visual Filters includes:

Examples of visual filters

Logos Wiki also has Morph Search

Faithlife How to Guides include: How to Learn Biblical Greek & How to Do a Bible Word Study & How to Use a Greek Lexicon

FWIW: learning Greek provides more meaning for phrase: "That's Greek to Me" (as can read parts of Greek while other places are Greek to me)

The Morph Search video didn't help -- that's where I started.

However, your examples were HUGE.

AND -- I can do that search directly on any reverse interlinear Bible.

Not sure why it didn't work for me the first time around. Sure works now. MAYBE because I started with right-click on a greek word and modified from there, rather than just typing in the search window.
