I want to know what were ALL the questions the disciples asked Jesus. 

Tried the template One person asks another person, but didn't get the result including Luke 11.1

Also tried the One person speaks to another person about something. 

Want to know what is the correct question or template to use.

    As far as I can see, in Luke 11:1 the disciples are asking Jesus to do something not asking a question so I wouldn't expect this to be found when using the template One person asks another person a question

    Also tried the One person speaks to another person about something. 

    This template - one person speaks to another person - did show a hit for Luke 11:1 when I did it. Are you seeing something different?

    I think the issue you are having is that Luke 11:1 is not a question. You need to define what you are looking for a little more precisely. Everything anyone ever said to Jesus would be addressee:Jesus, which is obviously too broad. A good technique is to look at some examples you want to find, right click them and compare the tags. I did that, and literaryTyping:Inquiry INTERSECTS addressee:Jesus might be good (84 verses).

    label:question INTERSECTS speaker:Disciples INTERSECTS addressee:Jesus 

    provides ALL the questions

    whilst

     question:(rhetorical:false) INTERSECTS speaker:Disciples INTERSECTS addressee:Jesus

    provides the non-rhetorical questions.

    propositionalOutline:Question INTERSECTS speaker:Disciples INTERSECTS addressee:Jesus

    is  useful but misses a few results compared to label:question.
