I want to create a visual filter for all the questions in the Bible. How might I do that? Would I search using Question Propositional Outline or perhaps Interrogative Sentence Sentence? Or is there a better way?
Good question
I would love to know the answer to that.

From the Speech Acts Dataset Documentation:
Questions:
{Section <Sentence ~ Interrogative>} AND {Section <SpeechAct = Info: Quest>}
Rhetorical Questions:
{Section <SpeechAct = Info: Assert>} WITHIN {Section <Sentence ~ Interrogative>}
As Schumitinu has pointed out that depends a little on if you are looking for surface level questions or where the speech act type is also a question. I've created a visual filter for surface level questions in the faithlife group of the Sentence Types dataset. Feel free to copy that and format it however you might like. If you want the speech act information, you'll need to add another line to the visual filter.
If you're not connected to faithlife, setting up the visual filter would look something like this:
The only issue with this approach is that it will only currently work for the New Testament. We are actively working on tagging for the Hebrew Bible, but aren't able to give a timeline for when that will be completed at this stage.
