I do it like this for now (modulo copy-paste-errors):

(1) Get processed marked articles in search group:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq articles
      (mapcar #'nnselect-article-number
              gnus-newsgroup-processable))
#+end_src

(2) Add those to the summary buffer of the searched group after opening
it:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let (current (or (gnus-summary-article-number) gnus-newsgroup-end))
  (mapc (lambda (h)
          (let ((article-number (mail-header-number h)))
            (gnus-summary-goto-subject article-number 'force)))
        (gnus-fetch-headers articles))
  ;; Repair thread display
  (gnus-summary-prepare)
  (gnus-summary-goto-subject current)
  (gnus-summary-position-point)
  (mapc #'gnus-summary-set-process-mark articles))
#+end_src

[ I don't eval that by hand every time of course.  I use hacked
registers to save those process marked ARTICLES in a register, and jump
to that register to insert and process mark the ARTICLES later. ]
