Limiting Syntax Searches by Lemma

I want to search for all occurances of the interrogative מִי plus a verb in prefixed (imperfect) form. Is it possible to do that with a syntax search, or are lemma not able to be variables in syntax searches? If I just search for an interrogative plus a finite verb the syntax search spits out more results than are useful. And I am not sure how to search for multiple morphological terms within a certain proximity.

Sorry for the delay in answering your post.

You can apply the same morphology criteria in Syntax Search. The basic query is:-

Segment 1: ((Lexeme = "מי"))

Anything — Match 0 to 3 units

Segment 2: ((Part of Speech = verb AND Verb Family = prefixed
(imperfect)))

Paste the word into the Lexeme box and select the appropriate form -- "who"?

Use Anything for Proximity. Units = words in between

Thanks. That does the trick.
