Search question

Clint Cozier

I'm working with Matt 2:10,  ἰδόντες δὲ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐχάρησαν χαρὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα. I'm interested in what I think is a Semitism, the use of the root χαιρω in both the verb and the accusative noun. The attached syntax search finds a total of 17 hits in the NT. I then asked, what if something comes between the verb and the noun....so I tried to insert Anything between the two words. The search just runs and runs....no results returned. 

Two questions:  Is there a way to do this as a morphological search? It would allow me to work into the LXX which would be very helpful. Also, how can I structure the syntax search to allow for intervening words?

Thanks for your help.

With Anything inserted you are looking for two words in the NT, anywhere they occur in the bible, regardless how many sentences, clauses, etc come between them. If the database can do it, it could take a long, long, long, long, (you get the point[:D]) time.

I ran the same search and restricted it to the clause level

That returned 125 hits

EDIT: If you add "Unordered Group" to my search it returns 3009 hits in about 23 seconds
