Example

Find verses that have "son" followed by "David".

REGEXSEARCH:::KJVx:::son.*David

The "." means any character and "*" means any number of these characters.

If you only want to limit it for son using Strongs H1121:

REGEXSEARCH:::KJVx:::son.*H1121.*David

However, this will also return:

"son H1121 , and to all his servants H5650 , that they should kill H4191 David H1732."

Use this to limit only up to 10 characters between H1121 and David:

REGEXSEARCH:::KJVx:::son.*H1121.{0,10}David

Now search for son using Strongs G5207:

REGEXSEARCH:::KJVx:::son.*G5207.{0,10}David
