improvement for phrase searching

So I'm in I Corinthians and read this: Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν

Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν But (or, now) concerning the spiritual (what? persons? things?)

so I wanted to search I Corinthians for other times Paul used τῶν πνευματικῶν (the spiritual). But I would want this in all cases. This is the genitive. I want nominative, accusative, and dative. Other places where Paul talks about this.

If I search for the phrase, I only get the exact phrase and not the others.

Just like when I click on one word and have the lemma as an option, I need more options in a phrase search.

Yes, I did a search on just the adjective πνευματικός and found ὁ δὲ πνευματικὸς and τὰ πνευματικὰ, but what if I had a more complex phrase over more than just i Corinthians.

The point is that this needs more thought and work.

I hope I made this clear

thank you

I think the Morph Search provides what you are looking for

lemma.g:ὁ BEFORE 1 WORDS lemma.g:πνευματικός

But were you looking for some other mechanism to do this?

thank you

Sometimes there are Greek particles or conjunctions between these words, so this is not a foolproof solution.

Honestly I think this is a search that a right click menu option should provide.

You can have it with a right-click. This will search regardless of tense, case or number. Sometimes I modify such phrase searches based on what I am after. So, for instance, if you wanted to a account for a possible intervening word, you could change BEFORE 4 CHARS to BEFORE 1-2 WORDS.
