Search Question: Saying 'no'
What is the most efficient way to search either OT or NT (separate) for all the instances of a person saying 'no'?
How would I refine the search to exclude instances of God (F/S/HS) saying 'no'?
I'm struggling with how to use the <sense to speak> thing and get it right. I don't want the word 'no' used as an adjective "no one answered", etc.

There is currently no way to do a search for something like no WITHIN {Speaker <Person *>}. I do not know of away to check if something is tagged as speech.
Here is a genuine monstrosity of a search: ("said","answered","asked") AND "no" NOTEQUALS ({Speaker <Person God>},{Speaker <Person Jesus>},{Speaker <Person Angel of the Lord>}, {Speaker <Person Holy Spirit>}) It does sort of work, though. There are some false positives and I imagine that there are some things missed (probably long discourses, so "said" is not close enough). But what we really need is wildcard support for this kind of tagging.

Thanks, Justin. I'll fiddle with this one a bit.
Any other suggestions from anyone who has a different idea how to do this?

I mucked around with no WITHIN ({Speaker <Person God>}, ...) ---> adding other speakers separated by comma
It's OK as it eliminates unwanted results when using morphology for "negation" or "negative" words; even though you have to disregard phrases like "no longer", "no one", "no work" etc.
But the genuine instances may only come from (<ln 69.2>, <H61>) WITHIN ({Speaker <Person Jesus>}, {Speaker <Person God>})

Thanks, Dave. That's a twist I hadn't tried.
