Searching by Hebrew Root Type

[Harvey]

Is there a way to insert wildcard characters in specifying the root to search for in a Hebrew construct? E.g., ?ו? to limit the search to II-w roots?

Yes, just manually type a "+" (plus sign) before the search string: ?ו?+

 

Oops, read your original post too quickly. Didn't see you were asking about a construct search.

 

Construct Search: Select a root search, then type a vav (ו) in the Go To box and click OK. Then use your cursor to insert question marks before and after the vav in the construct diagram itself.

How, using construct search, would I search for geminate roots? And is there anywhere in the available reference materials could I have found an answer to a question like this?

Its in the Help files.

 

Type this: *???(=2) Its a little tricky right to left and not exactly what the help files show.

 

Or copy/paste this into the Accordance search bar (or use in a construct): *???)=2(

 

 

Here is the help information: 

 

• You can also search for a repeated character in a word. The question mark is followed by parentheses containing an equal sign and a numeral referring to the number of a prior question mark in the same word.

  Example: The entry a??(=1) would find “all” and “add”, but not “and”.

• Using the repeated character wildcard you can also look for repeated consonants in a lemma. Repeated vowels in a word can also be found with an exact search.

  Example 1: The entry *(2=)??? finds all geminate lemmas (where the second and third consonants are identical). 

  Example 2: The entry "?(2=)????=" finds all three-letter inflected forms where the vowels on the first and second consonants are identical (assuming there is no intervening dagesh).
