Searching keywords or bible use within the creeds and confessions?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is an easier way to search our various creeds and confessions for keywords or bible references? My current method is to open up Schaff's The Creeds of Christendom, with a History and Critical Notes and then perform a search in all text in all passages for the keyword or reference I'm after. It works, but it picks up a lot of secondary material as well that I need to contently sort through.

I run this sort of search when I want to check the historical usage of a passage whenever I am doing a sermon/bible study etc. Keeps me from straying too far from orthodoxy.

    It would be much better to open Pelikan ... but its not in Logos/Verbum. More seriously, there is no shortcut for the searches that I have found.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I do have access to Pelikan physically! Yeah okay, those searches will have to do for now then.
