Mentions of a subject

How would I best go about searching a particular grouping of books for a particular subject? Like searching Luke, Acts, and Hebrews for Angels?

I know about manipulating the search tool, I'm just wondering if there is a more efficient and accurate way of doing so.

Thank you!

How would I best go about searching a particular grouping of books for a particular subject?

"subject" is very broad.

In the case of Angels, I first searched for "angel", and right-clicked the word in the bible (a reverse interlinear like ESV). Then I looked for "Angels" or similar in the categories on the RHS, expanding levels as necessary. I chose the Label, Supernatural Being, then selected Search on the other side. I shortened the term to {Label Supernatural Being WHERE Type ~ "Angel"}.

Next, enter Lk, Acts, Heb in the Reference box, and click the expanded text below it i.e. Luke; Acts; Hebrews. Then search.

Provide other examples of "subjects" to see if I'm understanding you correctly.
