I put this search in: "τη πιστει" ! "επι τη πιστει" ! "εν τη πιστει".

I want to find the first item, but not the last two.

Using "τη πιστει" ! "επι τη πιστει" does give me the first string without the second, but when I add the third string in quotation marks, it does not get excluded. Is what I'm trying possible? What might I be doing wrong?

The results are the same regardless of which "Search Method" I check. And I couldn't figure out how to do it via "Character String Search" or "RegEx Search", if it's even possible there. I thought I'd asked a similar question once before, but I searched the forums and didn't find anything. Believe it or not, I looked in the Help Files, too.

Parenthesis.

"τη πιστει" ! ("επι τη πιστει" | "εν τη πιστει") will do it.
