Search of pericopes
This type of search might not even be what I am looking for.
I am doing a study on passages that are about brokeness, or being spirtually broken. I want to search for pericopes that contain the truncated word "broke". Is there a way to do a search in Logos to do this to get a bird's eye view? I did an english word study for brokeness. I am now working through an Greek and Hebrew word study but I do not find any original language words that are equal to the term spiritual brokeness. This is the closest I have gotten to in my analysis. The word for break-in Greek is eklasen which clearly means to break or to be broken. The method of being spiritual broken is my key term and I do not get how to move forward in my analysis.
My community light study group is about to start a book study on The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life by Ann Voskamp. I want to do a analysis of being spiritually broken, its rammifications, the biblical theological story of brokeness before we begin the study of the book. I do not want to be biased in only reading one person.

Look for broke in Bible Sense Lexicon and you will find phrases that indicate spiritual brokenness.
Right-click relevant words in the passages you quote for "Sense" words. But "broken" in Rev 2:27 is not a spiritual state!

Okay, step back and think more deeply about what you want.
- Do you really want a specific word or are you really looking for meaning?
- Are you looking for the specific word/meaning or are you looking also for figurative speech that conveys the meaning. [Note my example does not contain figurative speech tagging that would apply]
- What do you mean by "truncated word" - the word "broke" is not truncated - it is a form of break. If you are really looking for a specific word rather than a meaning what lemma are you looking for.
- You don't search for pericopes - you display the pericopes of the results or determine the pericope boundaries in which a result lies. You can only/always search for an instance of text that meets your criteria. However, see second part of the response below
For each example you give:
- on the left, select the lemma, sense, or figurative speech/figure of speech tag that you want i.e. red box
- on the right, select the search you want i.e. green box
We have no option to search with boundaries of "pericope". However, you may wish to search within a chapter rather than within a verse to avoid having verse breaks cause you to miss occurrences. Note that for a single search term this rarely matters. It is a genuine concern if you add criteria to limit your results to "spiritual".

Looking for meaning
MJ. Smith said:- Are you looking for the specific word/meaning or are you looking also for figurative speech that conveys the meaning.
Looking for both meaning, figurative speech and textual wordplay.
MJ. Smith said:- What do you mean by "truncated word" - the word "broke" is not truncated - it is a form of break. If you are really looking for a specific word rather than a meaning what lemma are you looking for.
I am looking for all conjugations of the word broke.
Thanks MJ. Your search really helped to guide me on this study. Blessings.

the word/lemma is break not broke an important distinction in the long run.
