Searching on semantic domains

When searching for concepts, it can be useful to search on related words such as γυνή, ἀνήρ, ἄνθρωπος. Accordance already searches on Greek lexical forms by default, showing differently-inflected forms together in the search hits. Can we expand on this by searching on, say, Louw and Nida semantic domains? It's said that Bible Works and Logos both allow such searches, so it's not a particularly new or novel idea. Is this possible on Accordance?

  It has been requested for years but still unplanned.

  Thanks dick roberts. Now that we have this new forum format, maybe if enough people upvote this idea, Accordance would consider adding it as a search option. I wouldn’t want it to be the default search method, but I think it has a place as a search option.
