hmm yes I know this might sound weird, but I was wondering if there couln't be a way to copy files from a search with "a bit" of their path.

This would probably only work when the search path is indeed ONE path only, but here's the idea:
- I run a search on D:\Folder for some files (ie. created/modified in the past week)
- I'd like to be able to copy them somewhere else, let's say D:\NewFolder, but I want to keep the folder structure. I mean I dont want all fhe files to be in D:\NewFolder but within their subdirs as they are in D:\Folder

I dont think there's any way to do it right now, I can only create the empty folders (using the right-drag&drop) and I have to copy each file into the right folder manually.
(or I could copy the whole folder and do an "opposite search" to remove files, but I dont really like that & that's not so good when the original folder has a lot of files (that are a lot of space)

So if there was an option that would make it so when I copy results into D:\NewFolder, a file D:\Folder\Sub\AnotherSub\file.ext would automaticly be copied into D:\NewFolder\Sub\AnotherSub (since search path was D:\NewFolder) that'd be awesome!

Oh, it is there since the year 2000! A wonderful and most underrated feature (no user ever talked to me about it!); check the Help file for "Rich Copy"! Or simple drag your find results to the target folder and click ...
uh, where is it??? ...
... okay, read the help file, later I'll see where the "Rich Copy Here" command has gone.

Got it! It must have been gone for months and nobody noted it (not even myself) -- sigh! Such a nice command! Anyway, it's back and to your service (upload in a minute...).
