[B-Greek] How exhaustive is BDAG?

Dear list,

When I look up a word in BDAG(3rd ed) I will almost always find the
scripture reference that I am looking for, however sometimes I will not
find it. I know that some times I have inadvertently 'skipped' over what
I am looking for.

My question is this: how exhaustive are the listings in BDAG? could you
use it somewhat as a concordance by usage? It would seem not for very
common words such as 'DE' but perhaps for less frequent words it may
serve such a purpose very well. 

I am just trying to figure out how long I should 'hunt' for the exact
reference that I am looking for to be sure I am using understanding the
correct nuance of the word in question.

Thanks for any input,
Sincerely,
Kelly
