Jesus’ Questions
I’m trying to create a list of all of Jesus’ questions but can’t remember how to do it.
TIA

The easiest way is propositionalOutline:Question IN speaker:Jesus.
To refresh my memory about this, I just found a question of Jesus and right clicked it to see the tags until I saw "question." I selected it, and copied the search string. Then I added the speaker part so it would restrict it to the words of Christ.

I'd go with using the Bible browser or a search on speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence"
Note: IN requires that term 1 be entirely within term 2; INTERSECT merely requires that the terms have some overlap In the order given, Justin's answer should work; reverse the terms and it will not. And not every question begins with an interrogative pronoun or adverb, do they?
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."

Another Bible search idea is:
The easiest way is propositionalOutline:Question IN speaker:Jesus.
Bible Search can be expanded:
Matthew 12:4 has a question with propositionalOutline:Qualification
Another Bible Search is:
sentence:"Interrogative Sentence" IN speaker:Jesus

a search on speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence"
speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence" finds eight more verses than sentence:"Interrogative Sentence" IN speaker:Jesus
Bible Search (sentence:"Interrogative Sentence" IN speaker:Jesus) OR (speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence") has different search result colors, which shows INTERSECTS finds more results than IN (in this search scenario).

Bible search (speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence") OR ((@BI OR @RI OR @TI OR @BC OR @CAC) INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus) was useful to find Matthew 16:10 , Mark 2:26 , Luke 6:4 , Luke 17:7 , & Luke 18:8 lack sentence:"Interrogative Sentence" tagging (while interrogative words & adverbial connection finds many sentences without questions).

Maybe I'm missing something, but why not:
question:* INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus
Assuming one has access to the "Questions in the Bible" dataset.

Bible search (speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence")
speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS label:question gives almost the same results as the above. And you can refine the results using the dataset documentation e.g. to exclude rhetorical questions.
(@BI OR @RI OR @TI OR @BC OR @CAC) INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus) was useful...
Useful, but the extra results are marginal in the sense that the verses are immediately adjacent to a result from the main term. There may have been an oversight in compiling the datasets.

Just saw your response, Rick. Maybe you can comment on my response..?

I think MJ's suggestion is the easiest. Use the Bible Browser, especially if you don't know a lot about the syntax (like me).
Choose Interrogative Sentence under the Sentence Types and choose Jesus under Speakers.
Here are those results:
Keep Smiling had a good short search string for the Search tool but the results came back different than the Bible Browser. Not sure why. Here are those results.

question:* INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus
For myself, I was looking for the keyword for question but ran into sentence first. Unfortunately such serendipity underlines many of my searches.[:#]
