Greek Lemma searching

I was wondering if there was a way to right click a Greek lemma and search a specific book such as John here in my example below? It would be nice to be able to right click a Greek word and change the scope of the search to something specific instead of searching the whole resource. I know you can do this by clicking on the magnifying glass but I would prefer to do this if possible. Thanks.

Sorry, but that doesn't appear to be possible. As quickly as the search displays, however, I don't think speed is a factor. As regards filtering out the extra hits, they are grouped by book so all you need to do is to scroll to the first entry of the book and view the list.

Thanks, George, it just seemed like there should be a way. There are usually two or more ways to do things in software and I was just wondering.

After you "search this resource" when the results are compiled in the search pane, THEN you could change the range of the search then resubmit the search to get a result of lemma within the specified range.

I was thinking a bit about this and the ability to search using <ctrl-F> in a resource. It would involve more work for our already overburdened Logos programmers, but it would be welcome if they were to insert the ability of the <ctrl-F> function to search for a lemma as well as a specific form which would enable you to step through the occurences of a lemma in a book (of course, you could also go beyond a book, but that would be your choice). Example: You're in Mark and you enter <ctrl-F> and in the entry box Lemma:βαπτίζω.

Commenting on both David and George's post's: It would be nice if when you right clicked on a Greek word in a resource it would bring up a screen like normal with the selection, reference, lemma and so on on the right side of the window and in addition to the left side it would give you the option of searching "this book" and "this chapter". Options are always good and variety is the spice of .....exegesis. I'm studying the book of John and am always searching for lemmas in this book. I'm sure this would be a big help to all searching original languages.
