Fuzzy Monograph Search?

I know Logos 7 can do Fuzzy Bible Searches.  Does anyone know how to do a Fuzzy Monograph Search?  For example, when I do a search in Google, I can type a full question like:  "Why does God allow evil to take place?"  Instantly, I get several possibly related websites.  But I want to do this kind of search in Logos among the books that I own.  I'd like to incorporate books that perhaps address hard passages to interpret, maybe commentaries that address the question, but most certainly the relevant apologetic and theological monographs.  I basically want Logos to search my books on the question.  So how to I go about doing that in Logos 7?

    After playing with Faithlife Assistant, I suspect your best course of action is to look up Theodicy in Factbook, in Topics and in Systematic theology. All go off tagging so your whole library will not have been searched.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Article search idea uses keywords in question plus MJ's suggestion:

    ([field heading,largetext] God,Theodicy) BEFORE 88 WORDS ([field heading,largetext,surface] "allow evil")

    Strictly speaking, I don't think that functionality exists in Logos/Verbum 7.
