[TEXT ?]
The TEXT command is used to perform cross-textual searches in grammatically-tagged Texts and Keyed Bible Texts.
To add a [TEXT] command in the Search Entry box, press Shift+
Example: The ESVS is not a grammatically tagged Text, so searching for imperative verbs would normally not be possible. However, in the example below, the TEXT command is used to access the grammatical information from the GNT28-T, with the results displayed in an ESVS tab.
