Ability to find all of the questions in a passage via the search function
Is there a way to quickly identify all of the questions in a passage? As an example, I tried searching on "?" in the NIV for Judges , but the search results did not correspond to that.
Thanks,
Bryce

You can't search for ? because it's a wildcard (you can search for w?sh to get wish and wash).
You ought to be able to accomplish what you want with regular expressions, but that's unsupported and I couldn't get it to work. You could open the NIV then use CTRL+F to search for question marks in the text.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Or you could perform a Morph search for Interrogative Adverbs in ESV or other reverse interlinears. That's straightforward in the NT, but you have to choose elements of the adverbial subclass for the OT. It won't be as complete as a Find (CTRL+F) for "?".

Thx. I don't understand why you can't search for it "?" this way, but oh well.

Search engines traditionally do not search for punctuation characters as they are text based and use punctuation as delimiters. Logos search engines are purely text based using other markers to limit the search range eg. verses, chapters, section headers or a number of words (Jesus BEFORE 2 words Christ).

Searching ignores punctuation. Punctuation isn't indexed, only words are.
