What about the graphical query?

This did it for me:  lemma:ὁ@D?S BEFORE  2 words lemma:πίστις@N?S

This worked well in L4. Thanks for the example. I tried it in L3 so I could print the results, but it didn't give me any search results there.

I fooled with the syntax search in L4 but it's too much of a mystery for me at this time.

Appended later: I played around with the L3 Syntax search and got it to work using  [=D???]BEFORE 2 WORDS [πίστις=N???]. The whole syntax searching is new to me to it took a bit of playing around to get something.

Referring to your diagram, the only part I can't figure out how to duplicate is making Word2 have "part of speech = article".

In order to specifiy what part of speech a word is, do the following:

Click on the word (In this case, Word2)

This will bring up the side bar where you can choose text, lemma, gloss, or morphology. Click the white box under "morhpology" that says "Morph specification". If the white bar isn't there, click the arrow to the left of "Morphology" to make it appear (brown circle).

@ makes the morphology selector appear. Click "Article" as the picture below shows.

Then click the blue circle with the white arrow to confirm your choice.The box will then say "@D" and the syntax search should show "part-of-speech = article"

Let me know if that helps!

Ok...now that Jim has it down...I wonder why I'm not getting 101 hits?

I'm getting 90'something hits.....

hmmm...

David,

Sure, here is a screen shot:

EDITED TO ADD: Whoops! That pesky little "anything" is hidden in there isn't it?

Mystery solved. [:$]
