Search for Hebrew Verbs that Only Occur in 2 Verb Stems

Is there a way to search for Hebrew verbs that only occur in the Niphal and Piel stems and NEVER in the other stems for example? I only want to find these specific verbs. Can Accordance perform this kind of search?

  using the andersen-forbes data base:

  tab one –  [VERB (piel, nifal)] 
  tab two -  [HITS Hebrew Bible (Andersen-Forbes)] @[VERB -(safal, qal, passQal, pual, hifil, hofal, hitpael, tafal, afal, itpael)]

  If I understand the HITS command, tab two should search all of the hits of tab one (Niphal, Piel verbs) and find those that do not occur in the negated stems. It should then return only verbs occuring in the Niphal and Piel. But the results do not reflect that as they should (ex. רחף) in Gen 1.2 occurs in Qal and Piel. So unless I am missing something, this appears to be a bug. Am I understanding the HITS command correctly?
