How to search for...

I'm just learning the rules of vowels around prefixes. Is it possible to do a search for example for all instances of ה (the) attached to a noun and be able to specify the first letter of the noun it attaches to?

 

For example if I wanted to see all instances where ה prefixes a word that begins with a ע.

 

If this is possible is it also possible to specify the 2nd letter of the word too? So for example I could search for all instances of ה that prefixes to a word that starts with מ and a second letter is ע?

 

What about being able to specify the vowel pointings for each letter in the examples above?

Yes, and it's pretty simple.

 

With a Hebrew text as your search text type in heth, then ayin (and a third letter if you wish) and then add an asterisk

 

*הע

 

Press return and voila.

 

Specifying vowel points is slightly more difficult but only a little

 

simply add an = before the heth and place the vowel where you wish it to be.

 

so something like this... 

 

*הַע=

Thanks! For some reason, this is only pulling up words where the ה is part of the actual word and not the definite article.

 

Is there any way to specify that in my search I want the ה part of the search to be the definite article and the next letter or two to be the 1st and 2nd letter of the actual word it is prefixing to?

Any idea how I can perform the same search but change out the ה article to one of the inseparable prepositions (ל, ב, כ)?
