Search Match Within Multiple Verses

Currently, when running a search, we must choose between searching within a verse or within a chapter. I'd like the option to search within multiple verses.
An example of why this would be nice: Recently, I looking into the motif of "saw" followed by "took" that begins in Genesis 3, when Eve sees the fruit and takes it. So I created this search syntax:
lemma.h:ראה BEFORE 50 WORDS lemma.h:לקח
Searching within a verse, this yields 55 results across 26 verses (in ESV). However, when I looked into Gen 28:6, I found another result that I wanted it to capture: in 28:8-9, Esau sees that Canaanite women don't please his father and so he goes and takes one as an additional wife. But this didn't appear in my search results, since I am restricted to only searching within 1 verse (not 2 or more).
I figured I'd try searching within a chapter, then. This yields 206 results in 80 chapters. This could be useful (and it includes Gen 28:8-9!) but it's so much unnecessary text! So please give us the ability to search within a couple verses (or at least pericopes).
