How do I build a nest? (Search syntax)

I keep running into a challenge building certain kinds of syntax nested searches, if I can say it that way. For example:

I want to search {Addressee <Person A Crowd>}

...but that search excludes {Addressee <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>}

In such cases I wish there was a sort of nesting or hierarchy where I could search for the data superset and know it would include the subset.

Or can I?

Edit: At a quick look it seems that searching <Person A Crowd> does include <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>. Hmmm.

At a quick look it seems that searching <Person A Crowd> does include <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>

Logos 7.1 Release Candidate 1 shows <Person A Crowd> does not include Mt 26:48, Mt 26:55, and Mt 26:56 for <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>

{Addressee <Person A Crowd>} OR {Addressee <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>}

Using OR to separate search terms causes search result highlighting color differences.

Using comma to list search terms has same color in results:

Interesting tips there. The color difference really helps. Thanks.

You could just use {Addressee <Person A Crowd>} ANDNOT {Addressee <Person Crowd arresting Jesus>}

It's not foolproof, if there's one crowd, and a different crowd arresting Jesus in the same verse, then that would be wrongly excluded. But it's the best you can do until we get NOT INTERSECTS.
