How to search for a verb governing two objects?

I'm very new to syntax searches in Accordance, so this may be quite a basic question but I haven't been able to figure it out so far.

 

Essentially, I'm wondering how to search for where a verb governs two objects.

 

For instance, in Matthew 8:26 it has ἐπετίμησεν τοῖς ἀνέμοις καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ, whereas in Mark 4:39 it has ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ·

In Matthew, ἐπετίμησεν governs ἀνέμοις and θαλάσσῃ. In Mark, ἐπετίμησεν governs ἀνέμῳ but εἶπεν governs θαλάσσῃ.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Give this a try. There may be some false positives. I haven't looked at all the results but it gives pretty much what you're looking for.

Just be aware of instances like:

You will call his NAME JESUS

or

I will make YOU FISHERS of people

I'm new to using construct search. What are the traps related to doing a construct search with such pairs?
