I want to create a visual filter for instances of anarthrous nouns. This would require a morphological search syntax for all nouns without an article 1 or 2 words before it.
After a lot of experimentation and searching the forums, I have been able to create a suitable syntax search. But visual filters cannot be created from a syntax search.
A morphological search for @N ANDNOT (@N AFTER 2 WORDS @D) finds many examples of anarthous nouns, but not all, since it excludes any verse with even one noun with an article. For example, John 1:1 is missing, but John 1:6 is found.
Ideally I would like to do something like this:
@N NOTAFTER 2 WORDS @D
Unfortunately, there is no NOTAFTER search operator.
It appears from other threads that there have been other unsuccessful efforts over the years to create such a basic morphological search. For example the issue is discussed here http://community.logos.com/forums/t/49655.aspx and http://community.logos.com/forums/p/4835/38624.aspx
Logos syntax searches are complex, time consuming and error prone to set up. I wish such a simple and quick search were possible from the command line.
The sad thing is that I could set up such searches in seconds in Gramcord. Such searches were also possible with the Graphical Search in Libronix. I miss the graphical search capability on morphologically tagged Bibles in Logos 4. Even though it was a bit messy to set up, it could do things not possible in Logos 4.
Does anyone have any advice?
