How can I search for verbs used in two forms in the same verse?

I'd like to search for instances of the same verb used twice in two different forms in same the sentence/verse. (For example, James uses αἰτέω in both the active and middle voices in Jm 4:3.) Is it possible to do a morph search like "morph.g:V?A NEAR morph.g:V?M" but limit the results to cases where it's the same verb being repeated rather than two different verbs? Or is there a better tool for this kind of search?

    If you have a Logos Max subscription (or had a Logos 10 Silver base package or higher) you should have access to Morph Query Documents.

    They are ideal for this sort of task as they include an Agreement option (see bottom of screenshot) that allows you to require the search terms to agree on a range of things - for this I have selected the lemma option.

    There is an overview of using these documents at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016747411-Morph-Query and, at about 3 minutes in to the video at the top of the article, there is a worked example of using the Agreement option.

    (The article / video haven't been updated yet to show the latest UI but functionally it works the same)
