The "open file" dialog doesn't treat saved searches as folders

Created attachment 157505 [details] Screenshot This bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/bugs/512935 When talking about saved searches, the gnome Desktop User Guide states: "Saved searches behave exactly like regular folders, for example you can open, move or delete files from within a saved search". That's true in nautilus. But if, using any application's "open file" dialog, you try to open a file located inside a saved search "folder", you can't. In this case the saved search is seen as a regular file, not a folder. Steps to reproduce. 1.-Inside my home directory I've created a saved search that holds all the pdf files located in any of my folders. 2.- I open evince, and select File>Open to open a pdf file from the previously created saved search "folder". 3.-The "open file" dialog apears. What I expected to happen: I can navigate inside the saved search, as it is like any regular folder, and I open the file. What happened instead I can't navigate inside the saved search
Has anyone had a chance to look at this yet?
Saved searches were a nautilus feature. I don't think nautilus does that anymore.
