When I use the search bookmarks feature and get results when I select the group and drap them to a new folder they are not moved but copied. For example Microsoft OS standard is to use ctrl key to specify copy when dragging files within explorer. Not using the ctrl key and dragging the file on the same drive moves the file. I understand my example is a file and not an html tag in an html file.

Hi contact001,

Try doing it in the Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks from the menu. If you right click on the searched items, click "Cut" then navigate to the new folder, right click and hit paste.
