An option to not have search results update when deleting one or multiple files one after another would be helpful here. Everytime I delete a file it reruns the entire search. A cached search of about 170,000 files is only taking about 4-5 seconds but I lose my place in the list and have to wait.

I could select all the files I want to delete first, but, one or two at a time allows me to go to a different task and come back without worrying about losing selection or the search results, or forgeting to delete. Then I can continue down the search results list repeating select and delete.

Search result caching is enabled and the maximum number of items is set to 0?

Yep.

Not to refresh after a delete would be confusing and look like a bug.

If the delete operation could remove successfully deleted items from the search results without rerunning the search that would be a major help. If thats programatically reasonable, then maybe forcing a refresh of the search results after a tweakable about time like 5 minutes since it was last refreshed would then avoid any undesired confusion. Probably alot to ask for I know but if you cant perform delete or rename on a search that encompasses many files without it searching all over again it makes the search feature really frustrating to work with.

FYI you could get the behavior you are wanting by scripting your search and putting the results into a paperfolder, it would only be a couple scripting lines.

And if you didn't want to script the whole thing (including the searching) below is a quick example, because if you did it like this example you would just run your search as per normal and then with the search results tab active, run this: paperfolder("SearchResults", listpane(), "|");

Now that you say it: This is already happening! Since 20050219!

So the question is: Why doesn't it work in your case?
