How to search Greek Books for roots

Is it possible to search a tagged Greek text, like Lake's or Lightfoot's "Apostolic Fathers in Greek" for the root of one word within 25 words of the root of another word?

I'm trying to do such a search but can only get hits when I do a morph search on the Lake's Apostolic Fathers in English. I suppose that's okay for now, because I have both the English and the Greek from Lake. But if I only had a tagged Greek book, how would I do my search?

    Brian, you probably know more Greek than I do, but this is what I have observed.

    First, Lake's English is a reverse interlinear and as you already know a Greek resource is also represented. It does not appear that these two resources have been tagged for roots. I can generate information using lemmas which are tagged.

    Last, I am unable to reproduce the results you obtained using the English copy and furthermore, I would have bee surprised if I could seeing as this resource appears to lack roots. I defer to a more knowledgeable forum follower.

    Edit:BTW what does your Support Info show for the English version?

    If you right click on a word in Lightfoot's or Lake's, you will see the presence of morphology and lemma references, but no root references. Unfortunately, those resources don't contain root tagging, and I don't see any other Greek versions of Apostolic Fathers that contain root tagging.

    Thank you for your help. It turns out I was using Brannan's Apostolic Fathers in English which does have the root tagging.
