One way to focus a search is to add a commentator's name. To find what Robertson says about the Greek word charis, for example, key in the words: charis Robertson. Hebrew and Greek words may be searched in Hebrew or Greek, e.g.עַלְמָה, πνεῦμα, or by transliteration, e.g. alma, pneuma.

Caveat: Though professors typically prefer not to see citations to open access commentaries in bibliographies of research papers if they are dated or otherwise do not meet expected scholarly norms, these resources are useful for quick reference, provided they are used circumspectly.
