Any accusative

I want to be able to search for νικάω in the active with any accusative object per BDAG's entry. 

"act. w. the obj. in the acc."

Is there a (easy) way to create νικάω in the active followed by any (pronoun, adjective, noun, article, participle) accusative without creating a ridiculously long morph search? 

I know I could create a syntax search, but I want to be able to search outside the NT (e.g. LXX, Philo, AF, etc.).

I feel as if I remember a similar question being asked previously, but I don't think I'll be able to find that. I really hope this is easier than I'm realizing. Because this is a simple broad search that someone is going to want to do throughout Greek Literature and if logos doesn't make this easily searchable, I'm going to be a sad customer.

Thanks.

From the results in the Josephus passage, it seems like this search , the comma is meaning "and" rather than "or". So, it is looking for all "@R??A, @NA, @JA, @DA, @V??P??A" in one passage.

NB.Mick:

compare your search string with Dave's: probably the additional @s throw it off

Can you see my image? It seems that I did exactly what he put.

Dave Hooton:

lemma:νικάω@V?A BEFORE 1 WORDS @R??A, NA, JA, DA, V??P??A

Thanks, modified search a bit that may have some false positives:

lemma:νικάω@V?A WITHIN 2 WORDS @R??A, NA, JA, DA, V??P??A

Noticed 4 Maccabbes 6:33 has a definite noun in accusative case preceding an active participle of νικάω
