Tell me if this helps and then we'll go from there.

The search response says resultSetTTL is two weeks and resultSetIdleTime is 
one hour.

This means:

If the client references that result set within an hour, then that one hour 
timer gets reset for another hour.  If an hour goes by without a reference, 
the result set goes away.  In any case, the result set goes away after two 
weeks, even if it is constantly referenced.

(So no,  idle time does not prolong lifetime beyond TTL. TTL is the max.)
