You're looking for a way to persist some search results -- and then further filter them?
There's a few mechanisms for that with Splunk.
I think one is the closest to what you're looking for:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/SearchReference/Loadjob
See also:

There's likely a few others that also would help.
Good luck.
