Edit: βαθμιαίος beat me to it!
If I'm understanding your quandary with LOO.info, I think that the advanced search options can fix this issue. Clicking on "more options" under the search button on the main page will bring you to a page where you can choose 3 different types of searches: "any word", "all words", and "exact phrase."
The default on the main page is "any word", so when you type in multiple words, it will bring up every instance of each of those words ("broadens the results"). But if you use the "all words" option, it will only bring up passages that have each of the words in it, so instead of broadening results, it narrows them. Choosing "exact phrase" will bring up passages with only that specific phrase with that specific wording.
Utilizing these, I can usually find exactly what I'm looking for.

I guess I'm really spoiled on Google's engine. Its a shame when you google searh lawofone.info (by typing site:lawofone.info {topic you are searching for} with no brackets), it only comes up with search results generated by that site's search engine.
