Partial List Search

I'm looking for a way to search for a partial list subset, and I will explain what I mean by that. Say I have a list of names: (Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, Togarmah) and want to see everywhere in scripture where 3 or more of those names are found together i.e. (Magog, Meshech, Tubal) OR (Meshech, Gomer, Put) OR (Gomer, Togarmah, Persia) but not only (Cush, Put).

Is there any way to do this kind of search in logos without having to painstakingly list out every possible combination of those names, or searching each name one at a time and then manually collating the results? Say something along the lines of: ANY3:(insert list) where ANY could have a variable number >1: ANY4, ANY2 etc.

So looking back apparently I have asked for this multiple times in the past and not found the helpful tips offered able to accomplish what I am trying to do. So maybe this need to be a feature request?

I know the results aren't totally accurate but I found it interesting trying a Smart Search for this!

It isn't possible without at least listing the combinations. I would use a Morph Query e.g.

You would also use the Lemma attribute for the names, but the Search can span verses (Search Span) with an overall proximity (Span) for the three words. Or you can specify a span between any two (use Add relation). They likely don't have to be in Order, so you can remove that attribute.

Thank you both. Both look like they may have interesting uses. I haven't used the morph query the way you describe here and see I need to relearn some of the more advanced techniques. Thank you!
