Morph Searching for Instances where a word is used with a particular meaning

I was wondering if there is a way to do a morph search that narrowed the results by only including instances in which the word in question is used in a particular sense. For instance, I want to search the Hebrew word שׁוּב but I don't want to sift through all 1,062 instances where it is used in order to find the places where it indicates repentance or (re)turning to God. Is there a way to specify the search so that only instances in which the word is used in that sense appear in the results?

You can use the Bible Sense Lexicon (if available to you) for repent and choose to repent <=> return which gives 89 instances of the word with that sense.

If you have AFAT (Andersen Forbes Hebrew bible) you can search for its sense with <Lemma = af/he/שׁב:1> ANDEQUALS <AndersenForbesGenre = Supplication to Divinity>, which has 53 results. I basically found the lemma from a passage given by BSL, right clicked, selected Supplication to Divinity, and then selected search this resource to get the search form. Combining it with the lemma using ANDEQUALS means I find places where the lemma and the Genre coincide.
