How do I form this Morphology search?

I want to find all occurrences of "the Son of Man" and "a Son of Man" in the NT Greek Text. That means looking for υἱὸς followed within 1 or 2 words by ἄνθρωπος (to allow for ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου). "Son" can be in any case. Can anyone help me form this query?

I found the solution. The problem was that I copied the Greek words from the NA27 text and modified them to the nominative case. For some reason Logos didn't like that. When I copied the Greek words from Strong's Lexicon then this worked: lemma:υἱός@N WITHIN 2 WORDS lemma:ἄνθρωπος@NG

I have no idea why the other didn't work. It has in the past.

Lemma search finds results in more resources than root:

lemma:υἱός WITHIN 2 WORDS lemma:ἄνθρωπος

root:υιος WITHIN 2 WORDS root:ανθρωπος

The reason this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't usually has to do with the accents. When we copy a form and then modify it, sometimes the accents will be slightly different than the "lemma" and "root" form as it is found in the dropdown menu.

One quick way to construct this search is to open up a Greek New Testament, select with your mouse the phrase υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, or any form of it, open the right click context menu, select the top right option where you have the text, and then choose to run a morph search on that form:

Verbum will construct the following search query for you:

lemma:υἱός BEFORE 4 CHARS lemma:ὁ BEFORE 4 CHARS lemma:ἄνθρωπος

From there, it is easy to just delete the definite article in the middle, and replace it with WITHIN 2 WORDS, and you know for sure you're getting the correct lemma forms:

lemma:υἱός WITHIN 2 WORDS lemma:ἄνθρωπος
