Allow categorisation of items in Find window

[Guest]

Sometimes, when I want to re-categorise some items, I will first do a find
based on the Category name, move all the items found to a new folder, open
the new folder, select all the items, then right-click to re-categorise them.
I do this because when I right-click in the Find window, there is no menu to
categorise the items.

Rather than this long-winded approach, we should be able to highlight all
(or some) of the results in the Find window, right-click and re-categorise
them.

Why use Find for this? You can change your (Search) Folders view to By
Category and achieve the same results.

They're not all from the same category. They may even not be categorised.

ah... that's what happens when i don't think before I type!
I actually meant that I find items based on a particular category PLUS some
other keywords. I then want to re-categorise the items found in the results.
