How can I search for a specific letter and/or pointing in Hebrew

In Ruth 2:10, 11 and a few other places, the Leningrad Codex has an aleph with a daghesh inside it (אּ). This is obviously a rare thing.

Is there any way Logos can search for this kind of text string?

    Hi Simon,

    You need two things. One is the wildcard, where * represents any number of characters (or none). Second, you need to use the command match.dagesh, or Logos will ignore them. So the search is match.dagesh:*אּ*. It is pretty slow (wildcard searches usually are), but it does get the expected five hits.
