How to Search Verse List for Multiple Words

I performed a NLS on "unconditional love" that resulted in 338 verses that I loaded into a verse list. From the verse list I right-clicked and selected "Passage Analysis" which is partially shown in the attached screenshot. Now that I have a list of common words, is there a way to perform a keyword search of multiple words (just like a bible search) on only these verses? I have tried creating a custom range (see below) but the results seem limited. I searched for just a single word "love" and it returned only 74 matches but there are 131 occurrences in the original NLS.

I think the issue is that the full range of verses is too long for the Search Range. After consolidating and copying the verse references from the original NLS I have the following...

Gen 26:29; Exo 32:31-32; Deu 4:37; Deu 6:5; Deu 7:7-8,13; Deu 9:29; Deu 10:15,18; Deu 13:3; Deu 15:10; Deu 21:15; Deu 23:5; Deu 30:6; Deu 33:3,12; Jos 2:11; Jos 23:11; 2Sam 12:24; 1Kings 8:51-53; 1Kings 11:2; 1Chr 29:9,17; Neh 13:26; Job 5:17; Job 7:17; Job 23:16; Job 27:6; Psa 5:11; Psa 17:7; Psa 21:2; Psa 24:4; Psa 31:23; Psa 34:18; Psa 36:1,7,10; Psa 37:4; Psa 40:10,16; Psa 42:8; Psa 44:18; Psa 45:7; Psa 47:4; Psa 51:17; Psa 63:3; Psa 66:9; Psa 68:3; Psa 69:16; Psa 70:4; Psa 73:1,25; Psa 78:61-62,65,68; Psa 89:33; Psa 97:11; Psa 103:4,13; Psa 119:10,140; Psa 131:1; Psa 133; Psa 146:8; Pro 2:10; Pro 3:5; Pro 7:18; Pro 8:17; Pro 13:12; Pro 15:9,13,17; Pro 17:9,22; Pro 19:8; Pro 20:7; Pro 24:17-18; Pro 27:9; Ecc 7:14; Ecc 9:1; Song 4:7; Song 7:6; Song 8:7; Isa 38:17; Isa 41:10; Isa 43:4; Isa 66:10; Jer 2:25; Jer 31:3; Lam 3:41; Eze 33:31; Hos 11:1; Zep 3:5; Mal 1:2; Mat 5:41-42; Mat 10:37,41-42; Mat 22:37; Mat 25:34-40; Mark 9:41; Mark 12:25,30-31; Luke 2:10; Luke 6:32,35; Luke 7:42; Luke 10:25-37; John 3:16; John 4:20; John 5:20,42; John 13:34; John 14:21,23,27; John 15:10,12-13,17; John 16:27; John 17:10,23,26; John 20:17; Acts 15:9; Acts 20:26-27,31; Acts 26:29; Rom 1:7,12,31; Rom 2:7,11; Rom 3:22,24; Rom 5:5,7-8; Rom 8:28,37,39; Rom 9:1-3,13; Rom 11:28-29; Rom 12:9-10,15-16; Rom 13:8-10; Rom 14:19,21; Rom 15:1-2,5,7,14-15,24,32; Rom 16:1-16,19; 1Cor 1:4; 1Cor 2:9; 1Cor 4:14-16; 1Cor 6:9; 1Cor 7:15,32; 1Cor 8:1; 1Cor 10:24; 1Cor 12:9; 1Cor 13:4,8,13; 1Cor 14:1; 2Cor 1:3-6,14,22-24; 2Cor 2:4,8,15; 2Cor 5:14; 2Cor 6:6,12; 2Cor 7:2-3,7; 2Cor 8:8; 2Cor 9:7,15; 2Cor 12:15; 2Cor 13:11-12; Gal 5:6,13,22,26; Gal 6:2; Eph 1:4; Eph 2:4-5; Eph 3:17,19; Eph 4:2,32; Eph 5:2; Eph 6:6,24; Php 1:9,17; Php 2:1-2,13; Col 1:8; Col 2:2; Col 3:2,14; Col 4:1; 1Thes 1:3; 1Thes 2:8,13; 1Thes 3:12; 1Thes 4:9; 1Thes 5:11; 2Thes 1:3; 2Thes 2:10,16; 2Thes 3:5; 1Tim 1:5; 1Tim 6:16; 2Tim 1:4,7; 2Tim 2:22; Titus 3:4-7; Phm 5; Heb 1:9; Heb 6:10; Heb 10:24; Heb 12:6,11; Heb 13:1; Jas 3:17; Jas 5:16; 1Pe 1:4,8,22-23; 1Pe 4:8; 1Pe 5:14; 2Pe 1:7; 1John 2:5,15; 1John 3:1,11,14,16-17,21; 1John 4:7-13,15-20; 1John 5:2-3; 2John 5-6; Jude 2,21; Rev 3:12; Rev 14:1

When I paste it into a custom search range [Long Custom] it truncates the list.

I've been joyfully surprised at the verses an Natural Language Search has turned up. It's broadening my horizons!
 
So it seems I'm writing to myself (because I'm too impatient) but hopefully this will help others. I decided to load the verse panel by clicking the word love in the Passage Analysis which gave me a verse list of only 110 verses. I used the smaller list in the custom range of bible search window and searched for "love god lord heart".

I'm sure I never tested a list that long in the custom search range editor.

There really isn't a way to start a new search using an arbitrary search results list as the search range.
