If you cut a Java node out of a search result and paste it into a different folder then the node does not get removed from the search results. I tested this with a simple file name filter search argument. How to reproduce: - Go to explorer ald locate on a directory with files in it - [Ctrl+F] opens the find dialog - Click on the object name tab and enter a name - Click "Search" - In the results list, select a node and cut it [Ctrl-X] - Swicth to the explorer window - Select a different directory and paste Expected behavior: Node is removed from search results list Seen behavior: Node is still there; it only disappears if the find is repeated. This is not a show stopper but if this issue is fixed then the find tool would make it much easier to work on lists of "to-do items" in many tedious manual processes. Currently, the find dialog does much smarter things such as re-scanning modified files for text, so I thought I should definitely file this as an issue.

Theoretically, the node should be removed only if you move it out of the searched directory tree. But cut/paste should be rather disabled on nodes in search results I think. It does not make sense here because it does something different - it operates on the original object - cuts the object from its original place, i.e. in the searched folder, not just from the results list. There should be rather some additional action like "Remove from result list". So I would keep this issue as enhancement for that. BTW the results should be rather a static list with no dynamic updates (rescanning updated files). See more in issue 30613.
Cut/Copy/Paste actions are not allowed in the search results tree.
