I do a phrase search in Online Bible using a combination of a word and a
Strongs #
It is like doing a partial Youngs concordant type of search.

Example: " faith 4102 " will find all the places that Strongs # 4102
(pistis) is translated faith.

Example: You could also do "Love" with the Strongs # for Phileo or Agape

I had someone today ask me at work if I knew of any program that had
Youngs Concordance. (I thought it to be interesting timing considering
this post) 
I think it would be handy. To do a search for a word such as Love and get
the verses listed in order by  the Greek or Hebrew word that they
represent with the small definition of that word at the head of each
list. 

I don't know how easy or possible that would be though
