I am trying to do a study on Junia in Romans 16:1-2 and 7 as well as in the New Testament Corpus. I have tried these searches: Junia NEAR Apostle Junia NEAR Paul

Junia is mentioned only in RM 16:7, as far as I know. And Paul, the writer of Romans, doesn't refer to himself by name (except in Letter beginnings and rare exceptions, currently only the parties in the Corinthian Church come to mind). <Person Paul> will help to get the "my/with me" references in Rm 16:7, so Junia NEAR <Person Paul> will work. 

The two potential hits of Junia and apostle are too far away for a NEAR search (Greet A & J, ... fellow jews... prison... outstanding among the apostles...), whereas a bible search for Junia AND Apostle will work - provided you have "match all word forms" turned on - since the reference is in the same verse. For hits that may cross verse boundaries, it's often better to do a basic search against the bible (where AND will find all hits in the same chapter) and manually set a proximity range as you see fit, e.g. Junia WITHIN 100 WORDS Urbanus.
