I don't think it is possible. What you get when you search is a 'virtual' 
folder, you don't actually have the real mails. In my experience, copying 
works but moving doesn't very well. It might simply be buggy, of course, but 
in general - it is for searching and reading the found mails, I don't think 
it's meant to be a 'real' folder.
