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

(@BI OR @RI OR @TI OR @BC OR @CAC) INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus

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:
Justin Gatlin said: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.
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.

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.

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